Paperback. Condition: New. Reimagining Disasters builds on the momentum gained by the 2019 Disaster Studies Manifesto, which aims to inspire and inform more respectful, reciprocal and genuine relationships between home and visiting researchers in disaster studies. The book challenges normative understandings of disaster and moves away from the hegemony of Western ontologies and epistemologies in understanding harm, hardship and suffering, that is, what we usually call 'disaster'.It consists of one theoretical chapter and five case studies from Chile, the Philippines, Zimbabwe, India and Nepal. The initial theoretical chapter revisits and contests the concept of 'natural hazard' as an underpinning and universal prerequisite for disasters to occur. The subsequent empirical studies led by home and indigenous scholars draw upon local concepts and methodologies to revisit, challenge and contest the concept of 'disaster' and how people experience hardship, harm and suffering.Overall, this book shows that it is possible to conduct more just, grounded and relevant disaster studies that reflect local perspectives and priorities and challenge the established notions of power. It is an essential read for students and scholars interested in disaster and postcolonial studies.…

Paperback. Condition: New. This book is a festschrift in tribute to Ben Wisner's contributions to disaster studies and adjacent fields of scholarship such as political ecology, development and sustainability.This festschrift for Ben, and so The Benschrift, revitalises, promotes and critiques a selection of six foundational articles that span Ben's 50-year career. Each article is reproduced integrally and followed by a commentary by an expert in the field and a response from Ben. As a result, this book not only introduces a lifetime's work to the latest generation of researchers; it also contributes a meaningful dialogue across decades of scholarship, expressing contemporary reflections alongside the understanding of how to engage with and improve past research. Two fundamental truths stand out: the value of local knowledge and the necessity of seeking root causes and radical solutions.This book is an essential read for students, researchers, policy makers and practitioners interested in the development and evolution of disaster scholarship, political ecology, development and sustainability studies.…
