Natural Disasters as a Catalyst for Social Capital examines the
vastly under-explored link between natural disasters and social
capital in regards to the unprecedented June 2008 flood in Cedar
Rapids, Iowa. In-depth qualitative interviews with flood victims
and key informants in Cedar Rapids reveal that a resident's
perception of social capital after a natural disaster is shaped by
their vulnerabilities and social mobility, which vary substantially
and need to be understood contextually. This book, in highlighting
the enormous impact of one disaster in a mid-sized Midwestern city,
offers a framework for a new theory for why social capital shifts
in societies from one generation to another: the transformative
impact of shared traumas.
