A Revelatory Pandemic: Crisis, Agency, and COVID in Latin America (Catastrophes in Context, 9)

ISBN 10: 1836952783 ISBN 13: 9781836952787

Verlag: Berghahn Books, 2025

Political leaders and the news media described the public-health catastrophe of COVID-19 as a crisis, while scholars and public intellectuals portrayed the pandemic as a debacle that would lay bare the inequities and contradictions of an increasingly neoliberal global political economy and usher in an era of progressive, transformative change. Bringing the anthropologies of disaster, epidemics, and crisis into conversation, A Revelatory Pandemic subjects these hopeful expectations of post-pandemic change to social-scientific scrutiny across Latin America and challenges popular and scholarly assumptions about the causes and outcomes of crisis.
