This book provides a comparative analysis of how communities have
developed people-based resilience in response to the global impact
of COVID-19. The crisis of the capitalist economy due to border
closure, downturn in business, loss of jobs and large-scale
destruction of people's well-being has worsened poverty, and
inequality worsened the situation of the already marginalized. At
the same time, it has provided the opportunity for indigenous and
marginalized communities to innovatively strengthen their social
and solidarity economies to respond the unprecedented calamity in a
self-empowering and sustainable way. The book explores some of the
ways in which local communities have mobilized their cultural
resources to strengthen their social solidarity and mitigating
mechanisms against the continuing global calamity. It looks at how
different communities approach social protection as a way of
sustaining their well-being outside the parameters of the ailing
market economy and how some of these can provide valuable lessons
for strengthening resilience for the future.
