In 2015, I edited Narratives of Crisis: Telling Stories of Ruin and Renewal by Matthew W. Seeger and Timothy L. Sellow. Seeger and Sellnow examine the important role narratives play during and after catastrophic events. This crisis communication masterpiece covers topics including accounts of blame, stories of renewal, hero narratives, and memorials and discusses how they impact the world socially, politically, and economically.
