As disasters become more commonplace, we need to think of alternatives for relief.
‘Commendable – a book that prepares us to think about and react to system failures’ – Peter Gelderloos
Anarchists have been central in helping communities ravaged by disasters, stepping in when governments wash their hands of the victims. Looking at Hurricane Sandy, Covid-19, and the social movements that mobilized relief in their wake, Disaster Anarchy is an inspiring and alarming book about collective solidarity in an increasingly dangerous world.
