Description

Acts of Aid is a socio-political history examining the aftermath of the 1934 Bihar-Nepal earthquake, tracing how disaster responses shaped relief, reconstruction and social change across the twentieth century. This Cambridge University Press volume explores the intersection of aid, relief and reconstruction with class, communities and inequality, revealing how responses to the earthquake were embedded in broader political processes. The book demonstrates how aid, relief and reconstruction efforts mirrored political agendas and ideologies of the colonial state, civil society and international organisations, exposing continuities and transformations in how different actors engaged with disaster recovery and the communities affected by seismic devastation.

Key Features
