Abstract

"This study grows out of work that each of the authors have previously done on the dynamics, in various social contexts, of family recovery from disasters. In those earlier studies, the importance of ethnicity and race was left largely unexplored. Our previous research did note the importance of culture, age, and social class as determinants of patterns of aid utilization. To that mix of social variables we now add race and ethnicity (and/or religious affiliation) as additional pieces in the puzzle of family recovery."
