Resumen


En el año 2017 el huracán María impactó el archipiélago de Puerto Rico como un huracán de categoría 4. A raíz de esa experiencia surge el libro Un cambio categoría 4: Memorias del huracán María, el cual incluye las narrativas personales de 15 estudiantes de pregrado de la Universidad de Puerto Rico. En este artículo documentamos el proceso de producción y diseminación del libro. Describimos cómo dicho proceso representó un mecanismo para afrontar las condiciones posteriores al desastre, además de aportar al desarrollo académico y profesional de los estudiantes. Ejemplificamos cómo el libro contribuye a las aspiraciones del manifiesto ‘Poder, prestigio y valores olvidados: Un manifiesto de los estudios sobre desastres’, el cual destaca, entre otras cosas, la necesitad de producción de conocimiento por parte de aquellos que sufren los impactos de los desastres de manera que se reflejen adecuadamente las realidades locales en las que se desatan los desastres y que, además, redunden en beneficio a aquellos que viven en riesgo y experimentan los mismos. En ese contexto reflexionamos y sugerimos unas áreas de énfasis para adelantar los objetivos del manifiesto, de manera específica, y del estudio de desastres y reducción de riesgo, de manera más amplia.
