The Invention of Disaster

Power and Knowledge in Discourses on Hazard and Vulnerability

Beschreibung

This book argues that the domination of Western knowledge in disaster scholarship has allowed for normative policies and practices of disaster risk reduction to be imposed all over the world. It takes a postcolonial approach to deconstruct concepts, methods, and forms of governments inherited from the Enlightenment.
