Bibliography:
Includes bibliographical references (p. 167-173).
Summary:
On December 6th, 1917, the young curate at Saint Paul's Anglican Church,
Halifax
, was a witness to the greatest manmade explosion prior to the atom bombs.
Samuel
Prince
was no stranger to death: quite apart from being a priest in a city at war, he had spent weeks at sea with a crew, retrieving bodies from the Titanic and somewtimes performing the 'burial for the dead' there, in the North Atlantic. Unlike the other witnesses, however,
Prince
was also a budding
social
scientist.
Samuel
Prince
saw these disasters with a kind of double vision, as a clergyman and as a sociologist.
Prince
wrote his doctoral dissertation at Columbia on the
Halifax
Explosion, which he described as "blowing
Halifax
into the Twentieth century." In this commentary on that work,
Catastrophe
and
Social
Change
, Susan Dodd (also a sociologist of
disaster
studies, also a professor at the University of King's College where
Prince
lived and taught) considers
Prince
's account of the explosion and what both the explosion and the witnessing can teach us a hundred years on. Susan Dodd is a professor in the Foundation Year Programme at the University of King's College in
Halifax
. She is the author of The Ocean Ranger: Remaking the Promise of Oil,
Halifax
(2012).
