Natural disasters shape history and society and, in turn, their long-range impact is determined by history and society. This is especially true in Latin America and the Caribbean, where climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of these extreme events. Ranging from pre-Columbian flooding in the Andes to the devastation of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico, this book focuses on long-range recovery and recuperation, rather than short-term disaster relief. Written in the time of the coronavirus pandemic, the author shows how lessons learned about civil society, governance, climate change, inequality and trauma from natural disasters have their echoes in the challenges of today's uncertain world. This book is well-suited to the classroom and will be an asset to students of Latin American history, environmental history, and historical memory"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Natural disasters $x Social aspects $z Latin America. 650 0 $a Natural disasters $x Social aspects $z Caribbean Area. 650 0 $a Disaster management $z Latin America. 650 0 $a Disaster management $z Caribbean Area. 650 0 $a Civil society $z Latin America. 650 0 $a Civil society $z Caribbean Area. 650 0 $a Environmental justice $z Latin America. 650 0 $a Environmental justice $z Caribbean Area. 651 0 $a Latin America $x Environmental conditions. 651 0 $a Caribbean Area $x Environmental conditions. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Erlick, June Carolyn, $t Natural disasters in Latin America and the Caribbean $d New York, NY : Routledge, 2021. $z 9780429294068 $w (DLC) 2020038109 830 0 $a Latin American toÌpicos. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220202020705.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B192467E533D11EC9185B7CB4CECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
