  • More about Designing Knowledge Economies for Disaster Resilience: Case Studies from the African Diaspora


Disaster research in Africa focuses on vulnerable territories, examining social, political, economic, and cultural structures that hinder sustainable growth. It proposes knowledge economies to empower communities and produce innovative knowledge for the African diaspora.

Format: Hardback
Length: 244 pages
Publication date: 10 November 2023
Publisher: Berghahn Books


Disaster research has been studied from many angles, but seldom has it targeted its implications for vulnerable territories in Africa. Entities most subject to the effects of climate change are often undeveloped and located in disadvantaged regions. Post-disaster communities need to scrutinize the social, political, economic, and cultural structures that stagnate sustainable growth. Acknowledging that low economic development and high climate costs cannot coexist, this collected volume interrogates the challenge for disaster-prone territories to determine strategies for restructuring and redesigning their environment. This book proposes the creation of knowledge economies, whereby empowered communities may produce innovative knowledge translatable across the African diaspora.
