{"product_id":"covid-in-the-islands-yonique-campbell-9789811652844","title":"Covid in the Islands: A Comparative Perspective on the Caribbean and the Pacific","description":"This book provides the first wide-ranging account of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in two contrasting island regions - the Caribbean and the Pacific - and in several islands and island states. It traces the complexity of effects and responses, at different scales, through the first critical year. Written by a range of scholars and practitioners working in the region the book focuses on six key themes: public health; the economies (notably the collapse of tourism, the revival of local agriculture and fishing, and the rebirth of self-reliance, and even barter); the rescue by remittances; social tensions and responses; public policy; and future 'bubbles' and regional connections. Even with marine borders that excluded the virus all island states were affected by COVID-19 because of a considerable dependence on tourism - prompting urgent challenges for governance, economic management and development, as small states sought to balance lives against livelihoods in search of revitalisation or even a 'new normal'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yonique Campbell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9811652848\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789811652844\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/30\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 538\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 1.44d","brand":"Yonique Campbell","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44058757464319,"sku":"9789811652844","price":169.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dd6b1b1b-e221-474b-9b9d-bdb5f33925d2.jpg?v=1685054348","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/covid-in-the-islands-yonique-campbell-9789811652844","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
