Reviews

In a world where informed and meaningful disaster governance is as important as ever, O’Grady and Sou have succeeded in producing a timely and thought-provoking volume that highlights valuable disaster research in geography to date and the central role that geographical thought will play moving forward. The skillfully curated chapters weave together new insights with foundational debates to highlight the importance of time, space and place in understanding and addressing disasters, risk politics, and theories of collective life. This go-to resource will surely energize the field of disaster geography by pushing key ontological and epistemological concepts in fresh and productive directions. * Gregory L. Simon, Professor of Geography and the Environment, University of Colorado, Denver, USA *

Simon, Professor of Geography and the Environment, University of Colorado, Denver, USA * Few works capture with such depth how disasters are made, governed, and remembered. This collection invites us to reimagine what it means to think and live with disaster, moving across worlds from the Himalayas to Latin America and the island constellations of the Caribbean and Pacific. It asks us to see disaster not as rupture but as relation, process, and possibility. The essays weave theory with lived experience, tracing the entanglements of power, place, and imagination. Together they offer a geography that listens — to history, to place, and to the fragile, yet enduring ways people remake life from loss. * Stacy-ann Robinson, Associate Professor of Environmental Sciences, Emory University, USA *
