Table of ContentsReviewsIn this timely book, Jordan Pascoe and Mitch Stripling offer interdisciplinary work at its finest by deftly weaving multiple perspectives together to reveal how existing emergency management systems reinforce structural injustice. Their original framework helps us not only understand the epistemological forces that sustain the destructive power of disasters but also see the spark of social and political transformation disasters contain. The Epistemology of Disasters and Social Change is a must-read for anyone interested in more caring, equitable, and just ways of facing the inevitable crises to come. --Sarah Clark Miller, Pennsylvania State University Author InformationJordan Pascoe is professor of philosophy at Manhattan College.
