This book delves into profound discussions surrounding social vulnerability, empowerment, and resistance in the context of disaster relief and recovery. It skillfully untangles the complexities and dilemmas inherent in post-disaster empowerment, offering a rich ethnographic narrative that explores the remarkable work of Occupy Sandy in Rockaway, New York City, following Hurricane Sandy in 2012. Through detailed accounts, it unveils both a remarkable phase of collaborative relief, empowering marginalized communities to actively participate, and a subsequent phase characterized by conflict and resistance as relief transitioned into long-term recovery.
The primary objective of this volume is to delve into the mechanisms through which community empowerment processes can overcome pre-disaster marginalization in the aftermath of disasters. It establishes connections with broader emancipatory literature, addressing the challenges associated with empowerment from external perspectives. In the face of potentially more severe climate-related disasters and heightened social vulnerability for certain communities, this book makes valuable contributions to a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of community empowerment and vulnerability reduction.
This book will captivate the interests of sociologists, anthropologists, geographers, political scientists, and urban studies researchers, as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students pursuing studies in disaster management, disaster risk reduction, social vulnerability, community empowerment, development studies, local studies, social work, community-based work, and emancipatory theory.
