More about the book
Focusing on the Grenfell Tower fire, this book critiques the state's and capitalism's role in disaster preparedness, highlighting how strategies like 'stay put' serve to control marginalized groups. It argues that such approaches reflect a broader trend of 'Disaster Capitalism,' where certain populations are deemed disposable. The narrative reveals how even the elite are now seeking refuge from the chaos they have created. This insightful analysis appeals to sociologists, theorists, and activists interested in the intersections of race, class, and disaster management.
