Capitalism and Catastrophe

A Critical Disaster Studies Manifesto

Beschreibung

This book argues that disasters are intimately linked to historical processes that foster contemporary unequal relationships, and should therefore include both those commonly associated with nature as well as those we consider facets of history and social conflict, such as war and destitution.
