Description

Katrina’s Imprint highlights the power of this sentinel American event and its continuing reverberations in latest politics, culture, and public policy. Published at the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, the multidisciplinary volume reflects on how history, location, get admission to to transportation, health care, and social position feed resilience, recovery, and prospects for the way forward for New Orleans and the Gulf region. Essays examine the intersecting vulnerabilities that gave upward push to the disaster, explore the cultural and psychic legacies of the storm, reveal how the method of rebuilding and starting over replicates past vulnerabilities, and analyze Katrina’s imprint alongside American’s myths of self-sufficiency. A case study of new weaknesses that have emerged in our era, this book offers an argument for why we can not look forward to the following disaster before we apply the lessons that are supposed to be learned from Katrina.
