Yet the aftermath of two disasters in the United States–Canada borderlands--the Salem Fire of 1914 and the Halifax Explosion of 1917--saw working class survivors instead turn to friends, neighbors, coworkers, and family members for succor and aid. Both official and unofficial responses, meanwhile, showed how the United States and Canada were linked by experts, workers, and money. \u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eDisaster Citizenship\u003c\/i\u003e, Jacob A. C. Remes draws on histories of the Salem and Halifax events to explore the institutions--both formal and informal--that ordinary people relied upon in times of crisis. He explores patterns and traditions of self-help, informal order, and solidarity and details how people adapted these traditions when necessary. Yet, as he shows, these methods--though often quick and effective--remained illegible to reformers. Indeed, soldiers, social workers, and reformers wielding extraordinary emergency powers challenged these grassroots practices to impose progressive \"solutions\" on what they wrongly imagined to be a fractured social landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ch-level-1\"\u003eCover\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ch-level-1\"\u003eTitle Page\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ch-level-1\"\u003eCopyright\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ch-level-1\"\u003eContents\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ch-level-1\"\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ch-level-1\"\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ch-level-1\"\u003e1. \"Organization without Any Organization\": Order and Disorder in Exploded Halifax\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ch-level-1\"\u003e2. \"A Great Power Had Swept Over It\": Politics and Power after the Salem Fire\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ch-level-1\"\u003e3. \"It Is Easy Enough to Establish Camps\": Geographies of Community and Resistance in Burned Salem\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ch-level-1\"\u003e4. \"The Relief Would Have Had to Pay Someone\": Halifax Families and the Work of Relief in Halifax\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ch-level-1\"\u003e5. \"A Desirable Measure of Responsibility\": Halifax's Churches and Unions Respond to the Progressive\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ch-level-1\"\u003e6. \"The Sufferings of This Time Are Not Worthy to Be Compared with the Glory That Is to Come\": Sale\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ch-level-1\"\u003eConclusion: Cities of Comrades\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ch-level-1\"\u003eNotes\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ch-level-1\"\u003eBibliography\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ch-level-1\"\u003eIndex\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Illinois Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52520663810328,"sku":"9780252039836","price":99.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/disaster-citizenship-survivors-solidarity-and-power-in-the-progressive-era-hardback-9780252039836","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
