Following the flood, survivors from a previously tightly knit community were crowded into trailer homes with no concern for former neighborhoods. The result was a collective trauma that lasted longer than the individual traumas caused by the original disaster. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMaking extensive use of the words of the people themselves, Erikson details the conflicting tensions of mountain life in general--the tensions between individualism and dependency, self-assertion and resignation, self-centeredness and group orientation--and examines the loss of connection, disorientation, declining morality, rise in crime, rise in out-migration, etc., that resulted from the sudden loss of neighborhood.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Everything in Its Path | Kai T Erikson | Paperback | 9780671240677 | Used: Good | Back Stacks D 1783391","offer_id":67580106047640,"sku":"1783391","price":11.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/810ESZGBaeL.jpg?v=1790364334","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/everything-in-its-path","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
