Race, Vulnerability, and Recovery --NOTES ON CONTRIBUTORS --INDEXKatrina's Imprint highlights the power of this sentinel American event and its continuing reverberations in contemporary politics, culture, and public policy. Published on the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, the multidisciplinary volume reflects on how history, location, access to transportation, health care, and social position feed resilience, recovery, and prospects for the future of New Orleans and the Gulf region. Essays examine the intersecting vulnerabilities that gave rise to the disaster, explore the cultural and psychic legacies of the storm, reveal how the process 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 cannot wait for the next disaster before we apply the lessons that should be learned from Katrina.Rutgers studies in race and ethnicity.Hurricane Katrina, 2005Social aspectsDisaster reliefSocial aspectsLouisianaNew OrleansDisaster reliefSocial aspectsGulf StatesUnited StatesSocial conditions21st centuryElectronic books.Hurricane Katrina, 2005Social aspects.Disaster reliefSocial aspectsDisaster reliefSocial aspects976.044Wailoo Keith, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut916256Wailoo KeithMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457530203321Katrina's imprint2477426UNINA
