Contemporary discourse on the part of the US State Department and immigration authorities represents informal migration from Central America as a transgression of dubious and potentially criminal subjects who assail the United States. Such a representation relies on a memory that draws a purposeful blind eye to the history of colonial extraction and post-colonial "development" that has marginalized and brutalized Central America's indigenous popu…

A Commentary on Ilan Kelman’s Disaster by Choice
While discussing the writing of academic book reviews, a colleague once told me a good review is one that informs the reader what a book is about, how well the book’s thesis is supported by evidence, and who the most appropriate audience for the book is. Following my colleague’s recommendation, I would say that Ilan Kelman’s Disaster by Choice: How Our Actions Turn Natural Hazards into Catastrophes is a very good book written for a non-academic a…
Disaster and Climate Change-Related Displacements and Resettlements
This chapter focuses on displacement and resettlement associated principally with disasters and climate change. The aforementioned processes constitute imminent risks and human rights crises, and in the case of climate change these are most pronounced for coastal peoples around the globe. The novelty lies in the invocation of climate change to legitimize resettlement. Resettlements are politically charged environments involving complex negotiatio…
The Post‐Harvey “Recovery” Is a Political Disaster

What Does Catastrophe Reveal for Whom? The Anthropology of Crises and Disasters at the Onset of the Anthropocene
The modernist usage of the word crisis conveys the idea of an event that acts as a historical judgment, marks an epochal transition, and sometimes leads to a utopian era. Furthermore, current uses of crisis in the political sphere often figure catastrophic events as the result of errors and malfunctions, drawing attention away from the quotidian and normatively accepted practices and policies that produce them. Anthropological definitions of disa…
Resilience
In recent years, the concept of resilience has gained popularity as a means to describe the qualities and capacities that enable a community to recovery from a catastrophic event. Definitions of resilience make a number of assumptions about the nature of communities and the practices that enable their ability to cope or weather a disaster's impact. In this article, I provide a brief history of the ways disaster researchers have defined resilience…
Applied Anthropology of Risk, Hazards, and Disasters
This article provides a brief introduction to advancements in the anthropology of disasters as well as the historical antecedents and the intellectual collaborations that contributed to contemporary work in the field. It reviews the multiple directions, methodological approaches, and theoretical leanings that comprise today's diversified field of disaster anthropology and discusses how the monographs included in the special edition of Human Organ…
Here, I'm not at ease
A number of recent studies on disaster reconstruction have focused on the concept of community resilience and its importance in the recovery of communities from collective trauma. This article reviews the contributions the anthropological literature and the ethnographic case studies of two post-Hurricane Mitch housing reconstruction sites make to the theorising of community and resilience in post-disaster reconstruction. Specifically, the article…
You Found Us Doing This, This Is Our Way
This article analyzes the changing ways law enforcement agencies, city government officials, and gentrifying resident constituencies have attempted to criminalize and surveil disposition-forming rituals and daily social practices of African American working class New Orleanians before and after Hurricane Katrina. The rituals and practices discussed include pedestrian parades known as Second Lines and Super Sunday. The article demonstrates that th…
After the Hurricane
Nutritional status of children under 5 years of age in three hurricane-affected areas of Honduras
Hurricanes and other natural disasters can produce crop destruction, population displacement, infrastructure damage, and long-term public health consequences that include increased malnutrition among the affected populations. This paper presents the results of anthropometric measurements taken of 295 children under 5 years of age from three regions of Honduras that were affected by Hurricane Mitch, a major storm that struck Central America in the…
