Bringing together theoretical, ethnographic, and internationally contributed chapters, this book introduces a tripartite approach to anthropology. It highlights the need to study individuals alongside customary groups, to examine persons sequestered within their socio-cultural contexts amid changing global circumstances, and to reflect on one’s own society. Drawing on the Covid-19 lockdown, Contributors discuss their own experiences of in-placement. The volume also considers how epidemics qualify as disasters within the risk field and asks whether certain long-established postulations may now be outdated.

At a time of increasing globalization and worldwide vulnerability, the study of disasters has become an important focus for anthropological research-one where the four fields of anthropology are synthesized to address the multidimensionality of the effects to a community's social structures and relationship to the environment. Using a variety of natural and technological disasters-including Mexican earthquakes, drought in the Andes and in Africa, the nuclear meltdown at Chernobyl, the Exxon Valdez oil spill, the Oakland firestorm, and the Bhopal gas disaster-the authors of this volume explore the potentials of disaster for ecological, political-economic, and cultural approaches to anthropology along with the perspectives of archaeology and history. They also discuss the connection between theory and practice and what anthropology can do for disaster management.
