Entities most subject to the effects of climate change are often undeveloped and located in disadvantaged regions. Post-disaster communities need to scrutinize the social, political, economic, and cultural structures that stagnate sustainable growth. Acknowledging that low economic development and high climate costs cannot coexist, this collected volume interrogates the challenge for disaster-prone territories to determine strategies for restructuring and redesigning their environment. This book proposes the creation of knowledge economies, whereby empowered communities may produce innovative knowledge translatable across the African diaspora.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“The editor of these chapters did a masterful job at weaving these stories into a tapestry that resonates with many of us who have experienced the disasters she describes so well in her introduction.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• Gary Cecchine, Director\u003c\/strong\u003e, RAND Gulf States Policy Institute\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tList of Illustrations\u003cbr\u003e \tPreface\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 1.\u003c\/strong\u003e Knowledge Production for Disaster Recovery\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003ePamela Waldron-Moore\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 2.\u003c\/strong\u003e Conceptual Framework: Knowledge Capital in the African Diaspora\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003ePamela Waldron-Moore\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 3.\u003c\/strong\u003e Louisiana: Collaborative Energies and Post-Disaster Solutions\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eJessica Dandridge and Yeishka Montalvo\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 4.\u003c\/strong\u003e Haiti: Building Social Capital through Media Connectivity\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eShearon Roberts\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 5.\u003c\/strong\u003e Rwanda: Socio-Cultural Practices for Resilience and Recovery\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eSamuel Habimana and Emmanuel Biracyaza\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 6.\u003c\/strong\u003e Sankofa: A Model of Sustainable Development\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003ePamela Waldron-Moore\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 7.\u003c\/strong\u003e Epilogue: Post-Disaster Solutions for Development\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003ePamela Waldron-Moore\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eAppendix I\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eAppendix II\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berghahn Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042816655703,"sku":"9781805391708","price":89.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781805391708.jpg?v=1750955765","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/designing-knowledge-economies-for-disaster-resilience-case-studies-from-the-african-diaspora-9781805391708","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
