Prepared foods, for sale in streets, squares or markets, are
ubiquitous around the world and throughout history. This volume is
one of the first to provide a comprehensive social science
perspective on street food, illustrating its immense cultural
diversity and economic significance, both in developing and
developed countries. Key issues addressed include: policy,
regulation and governance of street food and vendors; production
and trade patterns ranging from informal subsistence to modern
forms of enterprise; the key role played by female vendors;
historical roots and cultural meanings of selling and eating food
in the street; food safety and nutrition issues. Many chapters
provide case studies from specific cities in different regions of
the world. These include North America (Atlanta, Philadelphia,
Portland, Toronto, Vancouver), Central and South America (Bogota,
Buenos Aires, La Paz, Lima, Mexico City, Montevideo, Santiago,
Salvador da Bahia), Asia (Bangkok, Dhaka, Penang), Africa (Accra,
Abidjan, Bamako, Freetown, Mozambique) and Europe (Amsterdam).
As the global climate shifts, communities are faced with a myriad
of mitigation and adaptation challenges. These highlight the
political, cultural, economic, social, and physical vulnerability
of social groups, communities, families, and individuals. They also
foster resilience and creative responses. Research in hazard
management, humanitarian response, food security programming, and
other areas seeks to identify and understand factors that create
vulnerability and strategies that enhance resilience at all levels
of social organization. This book uses case studies from around the
globe to demonstrate ways that communities have fostered resilience
to mitigate the impacts of climate change.

Many facets of disasters generate interest among scholars and
practitioners. However, a vital area of disaster research is
consistently underemphasized. Little is written about the immediate
and long-term impacts on a community's livelihood systems and the
customs and practices of the culture affected. Disaster's Impact on
Livelihood and Cultural Survival: Losses, Opportunities, and
Mitigation represents a broad forum to discuss the impacts of
large-scale disaster events on communities. Covering disasters in
18 countries around the world, academics, policy makers, community
leaders, urban planners, and emergency practitioners explore both
losses and opportunities for cultural and livelihood adaptation,
change, and disaster impact mitigation. In the wake of these
tragedies, the contributors look at different dimensions of
livelihood challenges and cultural survival. They discuss multiple
forms of disasters, including drought, hurricanes, earthquakes,
climate change, and technological and armed conflicts, providing a
comprehensive examination of each topic and the myriad long-term
impacts these disasters can have on communities. Some chapters
focus on developing "best practices" models to enhance future event
response, while others seek to assess new instruments or
methodologies for better planning and assessment of disaster
impacts. The concerns and strategic plans of indigenous populations
are also highlighted in this volume. The inclusion of their voice
and perspective, as well as the book's broad geographical coverage,
allows students, practitioners, and the general populace to explore
disaster issues in a variety of contexts.
