In this fascinating and comprehensive study, Greg Bankoff traces
the history of natural hazards in the Philippines from the records
kept by the Spanish colonisers to the 'Calamitous Nineties', and
assesses the effectiveness of the relief mechanisms that have
evolved to cope with these occurrences. He also examines the
correlation between this history of natural disasters and the
social hierarchy within Filipino society. The constant threat of
disaster has been integrated into the schema of daily life to such
an extent that a 'culture of disaster' has been formed.
