Conclusions
Abstract
This conclusion reflects upon challenges and opportunities that arose while writing this book and, more broadly, in meeting the goal and expectations of the Disaster Studies Manifesto. It offers a reminder that disaster in its current normative understanding is a reflection of a Western ideological project of neoliberalism. Yet, this book also aims to encourage us to find a place in the world, which, we believe, is valuable as it contributes to strengthening anti-capitalist and postcolonial thinking and practice and, as such, offers a path of making demands and calling on each other to move away from disaster as a universal concept.
