Cover of Disaster Nationalism: Tsunami and Civil War in Sri Lanka by Vivian Y. Choi. The cover is an abstract image of swirling black lines that resemble an oncoming storm, with a background that has a gradient of a brown yellow at the top and burnt orange at the bottom.

Save 30% on #NewBook "Disaster Nationalism," by @vivvychoi.bsky.social , which examines how the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami fostered new forms of governance & militarization during Sri Lanka’s civil war, both of which led to enduring forms of precarity & insecurity. #Anthropology
