Reconstructing Resilient Communities after the Wenchuan Earthquake: Disaster Recovery in China offers a comprehensive exploration of the changes in Chinese society following the devastating earthquake that struck Sichuan in 2008. Through various perspectives, the book delves into the reconstruction policy, mental care for disaster victims, tourism in disaster areas, ethnic minorities, and disaster prevention education. The Wenchuan Earthquake, which occurred three months before the Beijing Olympics, garnered global attention in May 2008. In the aftermath of this natural disaster, the Chinese government faced a delicate balancing act between exerting top-down control and maintaining openness to its people and the international community in its efforts to steer the reconstruction. This book examines the globalization of modern society through the lens of these events and reflects on the lessons learned from the disaster, the subsequent reconstruction, and the potential challenges that may arise in the future.
