| Summary |
"In the context of earthquakes "aftershocks" describe the jolts felt after the initial quake. No disaster is a singular event. [This book] examines the lasting effects of Hurricane Maria, not just of the wind or the rain, but what followed: state failure, social abandonment, capitalization on human misery, and the collective trauma produced by the botched response."--From back cover. |
