Description

Explore a deep theoretical look at how Western knowledge shapes disaster scholarship in The Invention of Disaster. Published by Routledge as part of the Routledge Studies in Hazards, Disaster Risk and Climate Change series, this book examines the impact of normative policies on disaster risk reduction worldwide. Using a postcolonial approach, the text investigates the gap between the claim that disasters are social constructs and the application of universal theories that may not fit diverse global experiences. It looks at how methods and concepts intended to be universal often fail to account for the unique realities of millions of people across different cultures. This work challenges the forms of government inherited from the Enlightenment that have been applied globally. It is an essential read for those studying the power dynamics between knowledge and hazard management, providing a critical perspective on how vulnerability is understood and managed in a globalized world.
