Description

This multidisciplinary volume includes an international roster of contributors who explore how mass hysteria has emerged among people across the globe as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. The contributors provide international perspectives on the effects of this “corohysteria” in areas such as education, healthcare, religion, psychology, mathematics, economics, media, racism, politics, etc. They argue the hysteria, angst, fear, unrest, and difficulties associated with the pandemic are exploited to foster political and social agendas and have led to the undermining of national and global responses to the virus.

Reviews

  • Though this [book’s] approach is interdisciplinary, the contributed chapters are primarily case studies from African nations, particularly Kenya and Nigeria. This focus is by no means a weakness even for readers who experienced the impact of COVID-19 elsewhere. The book showcases ways to analyze the pandemic from numerous angles and offers a model to scholars who wish to conduct similar studies in other geographic contexts. Recommended. Lower- and upper-division undergraduates. Graduate students and faculty. General readers.

    Choice Reviews

  • “The Coronavirus Disease (COVID)-2019 has had perhaps the most wide-ranging impact on every facet of human endeavor, especially since it was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. Being the first pandemic in the twenty-first century, it has been almost universally dreaded but poorly understood, leading to global mass hysteria, including by governments of all stripes. The world needed a meaningful perspective through which to manage the uncontrollable emotional responses to the pandemic, and none was forthcoming, until now. In Multidisciplinary Explorations of Corohysteria Caused by the COVID-2019 Pandemic, Dr. Abdul Karim Bangura, with a collection of global experts in different fields, has provided the most encompassing, multidisciplinary exposition of COVID-2019 that unveils the underlying reasons for the hysteria. The book is indispensable to anyone—scholars, professionals, and laypeople alike—who wants to understand the mechanisms behind the pandemic personally or to have an appreciation for the myriad of responses, sometimes contradictory, across the globe.”

    James T. Gire, Virginia Military Institute
