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.
