Contextualizing Disaster offers a comparative analysis of six
recent "highly visible" disasters and several slow-burning,
"hidden," crises that include typhoons, tsunamis, earthquakes,
chemical spills, and the unfolding consequences of rising seas and
climate change. The book argues that, while disasters are
increasingly represented by the media as unique, exceptional,
newsworthy events, it is a mistake to think of disasters as
isolated or discrete occurrences. Rather, building on insights
developed by political ecologists, this book makes a compelling
argument for understanding disasters as transnational and global
phenomena.
