When densely populated urban areas face severe crises-natural
disasters, epidemics, sudden unemployment, massive immigration-they
often find that established mechanisms cannot respond adequately to
the problems. Carl Maida argues that solutions to these problems
tend to be developed within the affected communities themselves. In
Pathways through Crisis, he draws on his two decades of work in
ethnography and with crisis centers in the Los Angeles area to
study the kinds of informal organizations that arise at the
grass-roots level in order to deal with severe crises. This
ground-breaking examination of responses to urban disaster suggests
how both informal and formal organizations can be developed to
serve people under extreme duress.
