Although vaccines provide a glimmer of hope, the enormous economic and social impact of COVID-19 is likely to impact the planet for the foreseeable future. With critical analyses across a number of disciplines, this timely text deepens our understanding of the complexities of social protection in the context of this global pandemic. A must read"! " - Benjamin D. Reese, Jr., PsyD.,Adjunct Professor, Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences,Duke University, School of Medicine, USA. "The range of critical perspectives in this timely volume serves to emphasise the unavoidable reality that people and communities most impacted by poverty, and affected by the many ills that arise from being on the wrong side of global power and privilege, fare worst in times of acute crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic. They represent a call for urgent and concerted action to mitigate suffering in the present, and collectively prepare for more equitable responses to crises in the future." - Professor Paul Millar, Director, CEISMIC Canterbury Earthquakes Digital Archive, University of Canterbury, Te Whare Wananga o Waitaha. This book provides a comparative analysis of how communities have developed people-based resilience in response to the global impact of COVID-19. The crisis of the capitalist economy due to border closure, downturn in business, loss of jobs and large-scale destruction of people's well-being has worsened poverty, and inequality worsened the situation of the already marginalized. At the same time, it has provided the opportunity for indigenous and marginalized communities to innovatively strengthen their social and solidarity economies to respond the unprecedented calamity in a self-empowering and sustainable way.
