About the Author:
Barbara Bode, a native of New Orleans, received her doctorate in anthropology from Tulane University. She has taught at the University of Victoria, Fordham, and the University of Rhode Island, and done field work in Chile, Guatemala, Costa Rica, and Peru. She lives in New York.
From Library Journal:
In 1970, a huge earthquake in the Peruvian Andes dislodged a mass of ice and rubble that careened down the mountainside, scouring out the contents of the valley below. The greatest recorded natural disaster of the Western hemisphere, it claimed 75,000 lives. At the scene the following year, anthropologist Bode studied the effects of the disaster--how the victims survived; how they coped or didn't cope with loss of family and homes; the rifts in the Church; and the breakdown of social classes in the aftermath. Her follow-up ten years later documents the healing that took place, how long it took, and what accommodations to reality the survivors made trying to tease meaning or purpose from their survival. An absorbing study that will be welcome in all types of libraries.
