Chapter Chapter 2 in Disasters and the Politics of Trauma, 2026, pp 7-21 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Disasters intersect with the social, cultural, institutional, and historical trajectories of a society. The political institution is a collective of political groups with competing interests that often construct conflicting narratives in society. The focus of this chapter highlights the role of disaster recovery politics when conflicts over the social construction of a disaster narrative within the political and socio-cultural spheres of both public and private life can be just as traumatizing as the initial trauma of the disaster event itself.
