Hi!! For the Philippine context, see James Francis Warren's Typhoons: Climate, Society, and History in the Philippines (2024). Though mainly Braudelian in its scope and approach, it has a dedicated chapter on the (colonial) politics of disaster response :)

Cover of Concrete Colonialism: Architecture, Urbanism, and the US Imperial Project in the Philippines by Diana Jean S. Martinez. The design is minimalist with a black background that covers about 80% of the space. In the top-right corner, there is a fragment of a black-and-white image resembling a torn document or film negative, showing a neoclassical building and handwritten notes.

In "Concrete Colonialism," Diana Jean S. Martinez examines the US colonial project in the Philippines through the innovative use of reinforced concrete, a technology that dominated early twentieth-century construction. Read the intro for free now: buff.ly/G9emDm4

From Arthur Kleinman: 'Medicine on a Larger Scale is ... a step forward in imagining a counter-biomedicine that can better connect social suffering and healing with interpretive social science, post-colonial imaginings, and some of the more serious problems of the world. Impressive!’
