Include References What is the state's responsibility to its people in the aftermath of a natural hazard-based disaster? The book sets out to address this seemingly simple question after large scale floods devastated Pakistan in 2010 and then again in 2011. Along the way, it delves into rich detail about people's everyday encounters with the state in Pakistan, uncovers postcolonial discourses on rights of citizenship and dispels mainstream understanding of Islamist groups as presenting an alternative development paradigm to the state. Based on detailed ethnographic fieldwork, In the Wake of the Disaster forces the reader to look beyond narratives of Pakistan as the perennial 'failing state' falling victim to an imminent 'Islamist takeover' Disaster Management Floods--Social aspects Disaster relief--Government policy Disaster victims Politics and government--1988 Islam and state Pakistan ddc BK 0 0 0 0 NASSDOC NASSDOC 2019-09-06 OP 434.35 2019-09-04 0 363.3493095491 SID-I 50485 2019-09-06 00:00:00 595.00 2019-09-06 BK
