Description

This book gathers together responses to the hurricane from over thirty contributors, including community activists, sociologists, writers and musicians. Some have been displaced by the hurricane and write about what they have lost. Others write from a distance, seeing patterns in the response to the hurricane that reflect a cultural bias of race and class. Together they offer not only critical assessments of what went wrong, but also hopeful conjecture about possibilities for the future of New Orleans, the Gulf Coast and the United States. - from Amzon
