This book offers a critical exploration into Indigenous knowledge systems, particularly focusing on Indigenous land-based knowledge and practice in reshaping disaster adaptations.

 

Drawing from Indigenous communities in Bangladesh, this book challenges transformational approaches to disaster resilience by centering on land-based perspectives intrinsic to Indigenous cultures. The book showcases how Indigenous and land-based minority communities in Bangladesh have historically coped with and adapted to environmental challenges. It navigates beyond the Eurocentric paradigm, acknowledging the richness of traditional Indigenous land-based knowledge and practice embedded in the relationship between Indigenous peoples, land-based minority, and their natural environments. The book focuses on the interconnectedness of Indigenous land-based knowledge, culture, and sustainable practices, providing a blueprint for rethinking contemporary disaster adaptation strategies. By relearning from Indigenous land-based perspectives, readers gain invaluable insights into holistic, community-based approaches prioritizing harmony with nature over technological fixes. Through Indigenist, decolonial, relational, and feminist theoretical research frameworks, the book advocates for a paradigm shift in disaster management, emphasizing the importance of respecting and integrating Indigenous land-based solutions.

 

Rethinking and Relearning Disaster Adaptations from and within Indigenous Land-Based Perspectives emerges as a crucial resource for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners seeking to foster resilience through a more inclusive and culturally sensitive lens.
