The Asian tsunami in December 2004 severely affected people in
coastal regions all around the Indian Ocean. This book provides the
first in-depth ethnography of the disaster and its effects on a
fishing village in Tamil Nadu, India. The author explores how the
villagers have lived with the tsunami in the years succeeding it
and actively worked to gradually regain a sense of certainty and
confidence in their environment in the face of disempowering
disaster. What appears is a remarkable local recovery process in
which the survivors have interwoven the tsunami and the everyday in
a series of subtle practices and theorisations, resulting in a
complex and continuous recreation of village life. By showing the
composite nature of the tsunami as an event, the book adds new
theoretical insight into the anthropology of natural disaster and
recovery.
