Beskrivning
A consistent problem that confronts disaster reduction is the disjunction between academic and expert knowledge and policies and practices of agencies mandated to deal with the concern. Although a great deal of knowledge has been acquired regarding many aspects of the gap, such as driving factors, risk construction, complexity of resettlement, and importance of peoples' culture, very little has gotten into protocol and procedure. Disaster Upon Disaster illuminates the numerous disjunctions between the suppositions, realities, agendas, and executions in the field, goes on to detail contingencies, predicaments, old and new plights, and finally advances solutions and the matter of outcomes.

Recensioner i media

"The contributors, individually and collectively, do not merely point to or describe the gaps between knowledge, policy, and practice-they build sturdy bridges across them... I highly recommend this book" A.J. Faas, San Jose State University"An important contribution to the applied anthropological research on disasters for it brings together experiences and reflections of various key players in the field-anthropologists, practitioners (e.g. local and international NGO leaders, officials of various functions, and free-lance consultants), and other constituents." Qiaoyun Zhang, Shanghai University
