A cross-disciplinary volume that combines and puts into dialogue perspectives on disasters, this book includes contributions from anthropology, history, cultural studies, sociology, and literary studies. Offering a rich and diverse set of arguments and analyses on the ever-relevant theme of catastrophe in the circum-Caribbean, it will encourage debate and collaboration between scholars working on disasters from a range of disciplinary perspectives.
“This book is very interesting … Its great uniqueness is associated with the expression in the form of storytelling, the different views of those impacted, and a prioritization of the analysis of cultural forms as a form of reaction and response.”• Claudio Szlafsztein, University of Pittsburgh
“A very good book … It is driven by passion and the need for such critical thinking, and will certainly be welcome in the field of Caribbean Studies, Disaster Studies, Cultural and Literary Studies.”• Mimi Sheller, Worcester Polytechnic Institute
