| Synopsis: |
Beyond the scrutiny of the press and television cameras, hurricane survivors often struggle not only with the destruction left in the hurricane's wake, but also with the chaotic and disruptive circumstances brought about by massive infusions of well-intentioned "aid". This book presents research on recovery programmes that work - programmes that provide immediate aid to victims and lay the basis for sustainable development and growth. Drawing on three years of extensive field research on Jamaica, Antigua, Montserrat and St Kitts-Nevis, the authors offer detailed analysis of the effects of two recent major hurricanes - Gilbert in 1988 and Hugo in 1989. |
