| Description: | At a time of increasing globalisation & 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 & relationship to the environment. |
| Key Points: | Using a variety of natural & technological disasters - including Mexican earthquakes, the nuclear meltdown at Chernobyl, and the Exxon Valdez oil spill - 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 & history. |
