“Popular” Social Work In Extremis: Two case studies on collective welfare responses to social crisis situations

Lavalette, M.; Ioakimidis, V.

Abstract

In the wake of an earthquake, a bombing, or a major storm, most people are altruistic, urgently engaged in caring for themselves and those around them, strangers and neighbours as well as friends and loved ones. The image of the selfish, panicky, or regressively savage human beings in times of disaster has little truth to it (Solnit 2009, p. 2).
