This book untangles the relationship between expert categorisations
of risk and the on-the-ground experiences of untrained
‘ordinary’ people who may be routinely subjected to significant
danger in a variety of extraordinary contexts. It considers
political, ethical and moral dimensions of risk and calls for more
targeted ethnographic research, designed to reveal how grass-roots
risk dispositions and practice intersect with official discourses,
individual agency and community resilience.
