Reviews
The findings and recommendations from this detailed and singular study (in its focus on social outcomes) are important for scholars, NGOs, government officials, and others involved in post-disaster resettlement and community development at a crucial time of climate change and increasing numbers of 'climate refugees.' While the circumstances of the study are particular to a fragile Central American nation, the lessons learned should have ample applicability to other countries throughout Latin America and in other vulnerable parts of the world impacted by environmental and other types of disasters. * The Latin Americanist * From [resettlement theorists and practitioners'] vantage point, I believe this brief book will be a very welcome contribution to their debates and concerns. * The Americas *
A rigorously researched and scholarly engaged examination of community relocation projects in Honduras during the two decades that followed Hurricane Mitch... This is a book every practitioner involved in disaster recovery and community relocation should have on their shelf. Overall, the book is written in clear and effective prose that should make it accessible to a broad audience including advanced undergraduate students, graduate students, and professionals in a variety of fields beyond the social sciences. * Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology * The findings and recommendations from this detailed and singular study (in its focus on social outcomes) are important for scholars, NGOs, government officials, and others involved in post-disaster resettlement and community development at a crucial time of climate change and increasing numbers of 'climate refugees.'
