In the Shadow of Tungurahua

Disaster Politics in Highland Ecuador

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In the Shadow of Tungurahua is about villagers learning to co-live with an active volcano while adapting to disasters largely produced by a protean state’s attempts to settle and govern its rural margins. It’s also about people responding creatively to cooperate, confront hardships, and craft new futures through locally derived disaster recovery projects and politics.
