1. What is a Disaster? 2. A Genealogy of Disaster Studies3. Unfulfilled Promise of a Paradigm Shift4. The Quest for Pantometry5. The Governmentality of Disaster6. Climate Change and the Ultimate Challenge of Modernity 7. Exclusive Inclusion and the Imperative of Participation8. Gender in Disaster beyond Men and Women9.

This theoretical contribution argues that the domination of Western knowledge in disaster scholarship has allowed for normative policies and practices of disaster risk reduction to be imposed all over the world. It takes a postcolonial approach to unpack why scholars claim that disasters are social constructs while offering little but theories, concepts and methods supposed to be universal in understanding the unique and diverse experiences of millions of people across very different cultures. It further challenges forms of governments inherited from the Enlightenment that have been rolled out as standard and ultimate solutions to reduce the risk of disaster. The book ultimately encourages the emergenceof more diverse worldviews and ways of knowing for both studying disasters and informing policy and practice of disaster risk reduction. Such pluralism is essential to better reflect local realities of what disasters actually are around theworld. This book is an essential read for scholars and postgraduate students interested in disaster studies as well as policy makers and practitioners of disaster risk reduction.
