Re: New article - Puerto Rico's post-Hurricane Maria response and recovery experience

[Stacy-ann Robinson]

Dear colleagues,

I hope you are well.

My new co-authored article titled, "We are a people": Sovereignty and disposability in the context of Puerto Rico’s post-Hurricane Maria experience, is now online.

Appearing in The Geographical Journal, the article highlights the impact of historically-enduring colonial structures of non-sovereignty on post-hurricane response and recovery in the Caribbean, and argues that Puerto Rico’s status as a Commonwealth of the United States influenced the nature and outcome of the US Federal Government’s response to Hurricane Maria in 2017.
