Using a variety of natural and technological disasters-including Mexican earthquakes, drought in the Andes and in Africa, the nuclear meltdown at Chernobyl, the Exxon Valdez oil spill, the Oakland firestorm, and the Bhopal gas disaster-the authors of this volume explore the potentials of disaster for ecological, political-economic, and cultural approaches to anthropology along with the perspectives of archaeology and history. They also discuss the connection between theory and practice and what anthropology can do for disaster management.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"School for Advanced Research Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47590814154903,"sku":"9781930618152","price":2403.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781930618152.webp?v=1774970658","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/catastrophe-and-culture-the-anthropology-of-disaster-9781930618152","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
