Routledge Post-Tsunami Recovery in Thailand Anthropology Book

Explore a deep ethnographic study of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and its impact on Thailand. This book examines the massive scale of the disaster, which claimed more than 230,000 lives, and looks closely at the recovery process. Part of The Modern Anthropology of Southeast Asia series, this work focuses on how reconstruction efforts are shaped by local perspectives. By following the recovery period over five years, the text provides a detailed look at how culture and religion act as foundational elements in post-disaster rebuilding. It offers a unique look at the socio-cultural responses from the communities directly affected by the waves. This is an essential resource for those studying how local traditions and social structures influence long-term recovery and reconstruction after major natural disasters.
