Unnatural Disasters offers a new perspective on our most pressing environmental and social challenges revealing the gaps between abstract concepts like sustainability resilience and innovation and the real-world experiences of the people living at risk. Gonzalo Lizarralde explains how the causes of disasters are not natural but all too human: inequality segregation marginalization colonialism neoliberalism racism and unrestrained capitalism. He tells the stories of Latin American migrants Haitian earthquake survivors Canadian climate activists African slum dwellers and other people resisting social and environmental injustices around the world. Lizarralde shows that most reconstruction and risk-reduction efforts exacerbate social inequalities. Some responses do produce meaningful changes but they are rarely the ones powerful leaders have in mind.
