Summary "Catastrophe and Social Change" by Samuel Henry Prince is a sociological study written in the early 20th century. This work focuses on the social phenomena that emerged following the Halifax Disaster, which occurred in December 1917, when an explosion in the harbor led to widespread devastation and loss of life. The author explores how such catastrophes trigger social disintegration, the subsequent recovery processes, and how these events catalyze broader social changes. The opening of the book introduces readers to the concept of catastrophe as a pivotal force in social dynamics. Prince outlines his intention to analyze the immediate effects of the Halifax explosion, not merely as a historical event but as a profound social phenomenon with repercussions throughout the community. He emphasizes that his sociological approach aims to illuminate the fundamental processes behind social organization, individual and group reactions during emergencies, and the principles of relief and rehabilitation that arise in response to collective crises. The narrative sets the stage for a deep exploration of how societies transform in the wake of disaster, providing insight into human resilience and the complex mechanics of social change.
