Building Back Better: How and For Whom? Everyday Politics of Post-Disaster Recovery in Puthenvelikkara
The third in the series resulting from the small research projects supported by the Research Unit on Local Self-Government at the Centre for Development Studies on Kerala’s emergent ecological challenges and the preparedness of our local democracy to take them on, this work on Puthenvelikakra demonstrates the significance of the “local” in understanding disasters and disaster recovery processes. By analysing the everyday workings of the post-disaster recovery activities and development in the localised setting of Puthenvelikkara, the presenters aim to draw attention towards how diverse objectives, institutions, people, and technologies are sutured together to form the post-disaster development assemblage at the local level.
