Description
The tsunami that struck in 2003 hit hardest in the Indonesian province of Aceh. Johsua Barker, from UT along with Arief Djati, an NGO worker, visited the cities struck. This talk describes the effects of the catastrophe three years after it occurred. It begins by asking what a ‘catastrophe’ is and whether this disaster qualifies as one.
James Siegel taught in the Departments of Anthropology and Asian Studies at Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y. for 43 years. His work concerns Indonesia for the most part.
