Title Barbudans are resisting ‘disaster capitalism’, two years after Hurricane Irma Media name/outlet The Conversation Media type Web Country/Territory United Kingdom Date 17/07/19 Description It’s been nearly two years since Hurricane Irma devastated the tiny Caribbean island of Barbuda. Gusts of 150mph or more damaged or destroyed almost every structure on the island, and its 1,600 residents were evacuated. Around 1,300 people soon returned, but since then, most have lived without routine public services or safe housing, and they face increasing pressure from the government to migrate off the island so it can be redeveloped for mass tourism.
