note = {Natural Disasters as a Catalyst for Social Capital examines the vastly
under-explored link between natural disasters and social capital in
regards to the unprecedented June 2008 flood in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
In-depth qualitative interviews with flood victims and key informants
in Cedar Rapids reveal that a resident’s perception of
social capital after a natural disaster is shaped by their
vulnerabilities and social mobility, which vary substantially and need
to be understood contextually. This book, in highlighting the enormous
impact of one disaster in a mid-sized Midwestern city, offers a
framework for a new theory for why social capital shifts in societies
from one generation to another: the transformative impact of shared
traumas.},
