Medwinter presents analyses from 120 conversational and expert interviews with disaster responders and survivors in New York City, beginning as early as twelve days after the November 2012 landfall of Superstorm Sandy. The settings are Carnarsie, Brooklyn, and the Rockaway peninsula, which experienced six to eight feet of flooding. The color- and class-blind assumptions of disaster responders and the labyrinthine process of obtaining a FEMA grant combine to exclude and increase the psychological burden of urban poor disaster survivors. Similarly, the locational decisions and volunteer service perimeters uncritically replicate the segregation logics of urban spaces. Part of this story explains how the chronically poor repeatedly get displaced by the machinery of official disaster response. One reason is the introduction of a race- and class-blind disaster "logic of response" that caters to the needs of the newly created class of "disaster victims," while displacing the "logic of service," which typically attempts to address the needs of the chronically poor"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aSociology of race and ethnicity. 606 $aDisaster relief$xMoral and ethical aspects$zUnited States 606 $aDisaster victims$zUnited States 606 $aDiscrimination$zUnited States 606 $aClassism$zUnited States 606 $aRacism$zUnited States 615 0$aDisaster relief$xMoral and ethical aspects 615 0$aDisaster victims 615 0$aDiscrimination 615 0$aClassism 615 0$aRacism 676 $a363.34/80973 700 $aMedwinter$b Sancha Doxilly$01769261 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910888048103321 996 $aEcologies of inequity$94237973 997 $aUNINA
