Sinopsis de IN THE TIME OF EBOLA

The anthropologist Jonah Lipton was in Freetown Sierra Leone when the largest Ebola outbreak in history hit In the Time of Ebola is his account of the epidemic centering on the residents of a neighborhood swept up in the emergency Lipton follows the lives of young men and women over a period of seven years revealing what the epidemic looked like on the ground He explores its causes impacts and legacies in a place where crisis might be considered the norm not the exception The emergency was disruptive and challenging not least due to the short term international response Yet for many youths Ebola was a time of unusual clarity on the ambiguities around care work and coming of age experienced in a context of vast economic and social inequalities Lipton shows how residents of this historically cosmopolitan West African city drew on centuries old frameworks for managing foreign intervention In the Time of Ebola questions dominant framings of crisis and offers ways of theorizing researching and responding to emergencies that make the home the family and ordinary life their starting point
