Democracy in a Time of Misery: From Spectacular Tragedies to Deliberative Action
Curato, Nicole (Senior Research Fellow, Senior Research Fellow, Centre for Deliberative Democracy & Global Governance, University of Canberra)
This book is about the ways in which disaster-affected communities perform their misery to secure political gains. It argues that democratic politics can take root in contexts of widespread depravity and dispossession and is a testament to both the resilience and fragility of the democratic project when faced with existential threats.
