Community Engagement in Post-Disaster Recovery reflects a wide
array of practical experiences in working with disaster-affected
communities internationally. It demonstrates that widely held
assumptions about the benefits of community consultation and
engagement in disaster recovery work need to be examined more
critically because poorly conceived and hastily implemented
community engagement strategies have sometimes exacerbated
divisions within affected communities and/or resulted in
ineffective use of aid funding. It is equally demonstrated that
well-crafted, creative and thoughtful programming is possible. The
wide collection of case studies of practical experience from around
the world is presented to help establish ways of working with
communities experiencing great challenges. The book offers
practical suggestions on how to give more substance to the rhetoric
of community consultation and engagement in these areas of work. It
suggests the need to work with a dynamic understanding of community
formation that is particularly relevant when people experience
unforeseen challenges and traumatic experiences. This title
interrogates the concept of community through an extensive review
of the literature and explores the ways of working with communities
in transition and particularly in their recovery phases through an
array of case studies in a range of socioeconomic and political
contexts. Focused on the concept of community in post-disaster
recovery solutions-an aspect which has received little critical
interrogation in the literature-this book will be a valuable
resource to students and scholars in disaster management as well as
humanitarian agencies.
