Sociologist Kai Erikson visited seven man-made disasters around America including: a mercury spill which displaced a Native American tribe from its homeland; Three Mile Island, where nearby residents feared exposure to radiation; and Yucca Mountain, Nevada, where the American government proposes to build a vast nuclear waste dump. Unlike earthquakes and other natural catastrophes, this "new species of trouble" afflicts people and groups in particularly disruptive ways. The text describes how these communities have faced such disasters, arguing that greater attention must be paid to their experiences if people are to maintain elementary confidence not only in themselves but in society, government and even life itself.
