Rutgers University Press Building Something Better: Environmental Crises
Book SynopsisAs the turmoil of interlinked crises unfolds across the world—from climate change to growing inequality to the rise of authoritarian governments—social scientists examine what is happening and why. Can communities devise alternatives to the systems that are doing so much harm to the planet and people? Sociologists Stephanie A. Malin and Meghan Elizbeth Kallman offer a clear, accessible volume that demonstrates the ways that communities adapt in the face of crises and explains that sociology can help us understand how and why they do this challenging work. Tackling neoliberalism head-on, these communities are making big changes by crafting distributive and regenerative systems that depart from capitalist approaches. The vivid case studies presented range from activist water protectors to hemp farmers to renewable energy cooperatives led by Indigenous peoples and nations. Alongside these studies, Malin and Kallman present incisive critiques of colonialism, extractive capitalism, and neoliberalism, while demonstrating how sociology’s own disciplinary traditions have been complicit with those ideologies—and must expand beyond them. Showing that it is possible to challenge social inequality and environmental degradation by refusing to continue business-as-usual, Building Something Better offers both a call to action and a dose of hope in a time of crises.Trade Review"In Building Something Better, Malin and Kallman provide a sophisticated and nuanced explanation of the persistent and inequitable nature of environmental crises, and they introduce us to a compelling array of social movements working to create more just, sustainable communities." -- Jill Harrison * author of From the Inside Out: The Fight for Environmental Justice within Government Agencies *"This brave volume posits an environmental sociology that stands in for all of sociology to press for collective well-being. The authors support those who bridge the gap between scholarship and activism, and their wonderful case studies of community activism, many involving Indigenous people, merge the gritty world of organizing and with the thoughtful ideas of social science. It’s a delight to read and an important vehicle for change." -- Phil Brown * Northeastern University *"In Building Something Better, Malin and Kallman provide a sophisticated and nuanced explanation of the persistent and inequitable nature of environmental crises, and they introduce us to a compelling array of social movements working to create more just, sustainable communities." -- Jill Harrison * author of From the Inside Out: The Fight for Environmental Justice within Government Agencies *"This brave volume posits an environmental sociology that stands in for all of sociology to press for collective well-being.

Rutgers University Press In the Shadow of Tungurahua: Disaster Politics in
Book SynopsisIn the Shadow of Tungurahua relates the stories of the people of Penipe, Ecuador living in and between several villages around the volcano Tungurahua and two resettlement communities built for people displaced by government operations following volcanic eruptions in 1999 and 2006. The stories take shape in ways that influence prevailing ideas about how disasters are produced and reproduced, in this case by shifting assemblages of the state first formed during Spanish colonialism attempting to settle (make “legible”) and govern Indigenous and campesino populations and places. The disasters unfolding around Tungurahua at the turn of the 21st century also provide lessons in the humanitarian politics of disaster—questions of deservingness, reproducing inequality, and the reproduction of bare life. But this is also a story of how people responded to confront hardships and craft new futures, about forms of cooperation to cope with and adapt to disaster, and the potential for locally derived disaster recovery projects and politics.Trade Review"In the Shadow of Tungurahua is a powerful reminder of ethnography’s analytical and methodological value in the anthropological study of disasters. Weaving theoretical reflections with ethnographic storytelling, Faas examines the ways people work tirelessly to make meaningful lives in catastrophe’s aftermath and how disaster affected communities are often haunted by colonial and post-colonial political ecological processes that engender disasters. Books like this are few and far between." -- Roberto E. Barrios * author of Governing Affect: Neoliberalism and Disaster Reconstruction *"This book demonstrates how deeply an anthropological eye can probe when guided by solid theory, methodology, and long and careful fieldwork. A.J. Faas makes a transformative contribution to the study of disasters and politics in Ecuador, Latin America, and the Global South. It’s a delightful read, rich in ethnographic detail and engaging prose, and a testament to the value of anthropological approaches to the study of disaster." -- Virginia García-Acosta * editor of The Anthropology of Disasters in Latin America: State of the Art *"A. J. Faas masterfully presents the stories of residents who were affected by the 1999 and 2006 volcanic eruptions of Tungurahua in the Sierra of central Ecuador [and] provides valuable insight into the politics of disasters. The accounts and experiences of the people of Penipe following the eruption and during their resettlement are powerful, and readerswill quickly feel transported to the streets, porches, agricultural fields, and communal buildings where these events unfolded." * Journal of Latin American Geography *"Tungurahua is a volcano that erupted ten years before Faas completed his fieldwork in Penipe...[L]ike the volcano, Faas’s In the Shadow of Tungurahua is similarly potent due to the scope of its scholarly interventions, for how it brings together the anthropologies of work, risk, and disaster. It is also potent for how it keeps the ethnographic encounter front and center, which breathes life into the text." * Exertions, the Journal of the Society for the Anthropology of Work *"In the Shadow of Tungurahua, by A.J. Faas, is a frame story, a structure that allows a rich tapestry of place-based stories to unfold...Faas understands the present situation of people responding to disaster not as an unexpected development but a manifestation of centuries of social and political activity in a place permanently plagued by conquest and resistance – but it is anything but simplistic." * Disaster Prevention and Management *"In the Shadow of Tungurahua is a powerful reminder of ethnography’s analytical and methodological value in the anthropological study of disasters. Weaving theoretical reflections with ethnographic storytelling, Faas examines the ways people work tirelessly to make meaningful lives in catastrophe’s aftermath and how disaster affected communities are often haunted by colonial and post-colonial political ecological processes that engender disasters.

United Nations Asia-Pacific Disaster Report 2021: Resilience in
Book SynopsisThis publication presents a new and extended analysis of the regional risk-scape based on multidisciplinary research conducted. It defines risk hotspots where disasters and biological hazards, climate and health emergencies – including Covid-19 – collide. It further presents the emergence of new systemic risks and cascading hazards, alongside their impacts on peoples and economies. Identifying regional and sub-regional gaps in building resilience into the disaster-health-climate nexus, the report provides tailored, sub-regional insights into opportunities for policy actions and operational solutions to build back better with resilience. The ability to identify and address the unmet needs of those furthest behind within the new risk-scape is also considered here, as is the fiscal cost of a resilience agenda for the region.

United Nations Global assessment report on disaster risk
Book SynopsisGlobal warming will surpass 1.5êC above pre-industrial levels during the next decade, due to greenhouse gas emissions. The constant rise in temperatures and related impacts combine with other pressures, thus increasing risk and undermining resilience. The increasing interconnectedness of people and human systems increases the risk of compound and cascading crises. The maps in this report highlight a number of these resilience deficits that are holding back achievement of key sustainable development goals. At the same time, the report's action case examples show that this is not inevitable, and how action is possible on every continent to stop the worsening spiral of risk and disasters and to accelerate SDG target achievement. Addressing resilience gaps will require the unprecedented scaling-up of resilience investment and adaptation action both from within the public and private sectors, particularly for the most vulnerable countries. As these investments take time to mobilize and prepare, delay will increase the inevitable costs. Action is needed now. Disaster risk reduction sits at the nexus between development, humanitarian and climate change action, and can help foster more-sustainable resilient action in each. Readjusting development pathways requires a re-examination of how prosperity is measured, and a greater emphasis on resilience as key element of sustainable development today and in the future

Springer Verlag, Singapore Disaster and Human Trafficking
Book SynopsisThe book highlights the root cause of human trafficking and analyses how factors of vulnerability affect the marginalized, especially during and after a disaster. Human trafficking like other studies on disaster research, needs to be tackled from various perspectives such as empowering the vulnerable people, creating awareness, strengthening the disaster risk reduction measures and creating a common platform to fight the vicious circle by breaking its continuity and making strategies victim centric and people friendly.The book adapts a multidisciplinary approach embedding concepts from political, social, economic and anthropological perceptions. The discourse in the book revolves around the emotional and psycho-social stress factors including weak implementation of laws and policies at various levels. The content weaves around three themes -- magnitude and interlinks between disaster and human trafficking; policies and protocols on disaster risk reduction and human trafficking and community participation and institutional support. Through these themes, the volume works on identification of the vulnerable areas which are not in compliance with the Sendai Framework of Action, 2015 in the backdrop of the Disaster Management Act of India, 2005. The volume will be of immense interest to a wide range of practitioners, researchers, academicians, policy makers, political leaders, gender experts, international organizations, disaster management authorities, civil society organisations, and scholars working in the area of human rights in general and trafficking in particular. Note: This research was funded by Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR).Human Trafficking is complex, layered and lies at the intersections of multiple vulnerabilities, gender being among the most significant ones. This gets exacerbated during both natural and human made disasters. Any attempt to either understand or address it will be fraught with challenges if women and girls' unique vulnerabilities, as well as their needs, voice, choice, agency and safety is not centre-staged in any effort. Mondira's book does exactly that...it succinctly and in simple words explores the compounding discriminations, including structural inequalities, that cause and result in women and girls differential gendered vulnerabilities to being trafficked during disasters. Once this is understood, the solutions can be specific, gender responsive, and sustainable.- Anju Dubey Pandey, Gender Responsive Governance and Ending Violence against Women Specialist, UN Women, New Delhi, IndiaTable of ContentsCHAPTER I: IntroductionContext Interlinks between Disaster and Human Trafficking Policies and Protocols on DRR and Human Trafficking Community Participation and Institutional Support Scope & Methodology CHAPTER II: Links Between Disaster and Human Trafficking Disaster and Human Trafficking – A Perception Disaster Management Act, 2005 Sendai Framework of Action and Sustainable Development Goals Crime Against Women and Human Trafficking Trafficking in Persons- The Vulnerable Areas CHAPTER III: Role of NGOs and Community Participation Significance of Community Participation Community Based Preventive Measures Awareness and Sensitization Networking, Advocacy & Media Training & Capacity Building Vigilance, Prosecution & Conviction Information, Education & Communication (IEC) Materials CHAPTER IV: Protocols, Policies and Role of Civil Society Organizations The Legal Framework International Protocols Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Regional Policies Civil Society Organizations CHAPTER V: Institutional Mechanisms, Gaps and Challenges Background State Machinery Non-Governmental Organisation Challenges and Opportunities CHAPTER VI: Conclusion ANNEXURES I Advisory from Home Ministry, GOI II Advisory of Ministry of Home Affairs, 2012 III TIP Report 2019: Country Narrative (India) IV Disaster Risk Reduction and Resilience Building in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development UNISDR

ISEAS Myanmar in Crisis: Living with the Pandemic and
Book SynopsisMyanmar in Crisis brings together scholars from across the social sciences to analyse the dual crises of COVID-19 and the 2021 military coup. All of the essays address one of four themes around the concept of crisis: society in crisis, a state in crisis, an economy in crisis, and international relations in crisis. Several authors examine the contested nature of state authority in the post-coup revolutionary context, including the emergence of new governance dynamics; others discuss heterogenous forms of resistance and the potential for building a more inclusive, just, and tolerant society in the future of Myanmar.The volume also explores the economic crisis caused by the pandemic and the coup and its devastating effects on people's lives and livelihoods: the authors provide a deep dive into the impacts of restrictive COVID-19 prevention measures on local communities, the growing livelihoods crisis since the coup, and the impacts of both crises on foreign trade and investment. Scaling up from that local perspective, the book also looks at Myanmar's history of foreign relations, the response of the international community to the coup and the challenges faced by foreign governments and regional bodies in navigating the deteriorating political situation. Held together, the volume highlights the ongoing state of crisis in Myanmar, its impact on society and the possibilities for recovery and reform, amidst a powerful new revolutionary movement. Beyond providing crucial insights to Southeast Asian area specialists, the book offers deep insights into the way that multiple crises interact, amplify one another, and open up possibilities for hope amidst tragedy.

Information Age Publishing Black Women Mothering & Daughtering During a Dual
Book SynopsisThe contributors of this volume share with the scholarly community how they have learned to strive, resist, adapt, and re-conceptualize Black women's mental health and labor during the dual pandemics of white supremacy and COVID-19. This book is unique in that it calls for the contributing authors to draw upon and reflect on the use of sisterhood and a literacy circle to cope with an economic crisis, mass death, and racial battle fatigue during a worldwide pandemic. Specifically, the invited authors draw inspiration from Venus E. Evans-Winters' book Black Feminism in Qualitative Inquiry: A Mosaic for Writing Our Daughter's Body as an exemplar of research that both centers the issues and concerns of Black women scholar - practitioner - activists and presents a methodology consistent with Black feminist ways of knowing and expressions. Evans-Winters's theoretical and methodological writings are among the first works in research and gender studies that have successfully interwoven Black feminists' politics, spirituality, and Africanism with educational research and thought. Using constructed stories from the author's personal narratives, Black Women Mothering and Daughtering During a Dual Pandemic: Writing Our Backs addresses themes pertinent to Black women's lives, including our socialization and socioemotional development, mother/daughter and other mother-daughter relationships, navigating the racial politics of schooling, friendships, survivorship, and grief using non-normative methodological concepts and practices.The authors explore concepts such as daughtering, politicking, mother speak, and cultural exchange while employing linguistic expressions such as prose, text messages, dialogue, and personal narrative—firmly planted in authentic Black womanist aesthetics. Furthermore, the authors highlight and demonstrate why and how they utilize reading and Black women's literary works to critically reflect, meaningfully write, heal, and do their work in times of peril (Morrison, 2019). More specifically, this book explores how the authors draw from Black women's cultural literacies in teaching, healing, mentoring, and activism. Throughout the question: How are Black women's literary works as a body of knowledge used in healing spaces to marshal new or forgotten healing methodologies, cultural frame of references, and spiritual awakenings? The contributing authors address this question from multiple perspectives, such as education, social work, and psychology.Collectively, the authors advance Black women's mental wealth as a theoretical and methodological healing modality that meets their multiple identities as spiritual and cultural beings, educators, daughters, mothers, sisters, healers, and social activists. This is the first anthology to explore how Black women's literacy during a state of racial unrest and resistance alongside a global health pandemic shapes our cultural knowledge, ways of coping, and spiritual endeavors across varied--and often ambiguous contexts.

Book SynopsisThe number of humanitarian disasters triggered by a natural hazard has doubled every decade since the 1960s. At the same time, the global economic growth rate per capita is twice its 1960s value. Does this mean economic growth is independent of the impacts of natural disaster? Natural Disaster and Development in a Globalizing World is the first book to acknowledge the full implications of globalization for disaster and development. The contributors to this book fully examine: global processes and how they might affect disaster risk at the global scale. links between international issues - such as diplomatic relations, the growth of non-governmental organizations and the health of the international insurance industry - and disaster risk the interaction of these large scale forces with local conditions through case study analysis of individual disaster events.
