In this powerful reader, Seeking Higher Ground, prominent scholars and writers examine the racial impact of the disaster and the failure of governmental, corporate and private agencies to respond to the plight of the New Orleans black community. Contributing authors include Julianne Malveaux, Melissa Harris-Lacewell, Ronald Walters, Chester Hartman, Gregory D. Squires, Mindy Thompson Fullilove, Alan Stein, and Gene Preuss. This reader is the second volume of the Souls Critical Black Studies Series, edited by Manning Marable, and produced by the institute for Research in African-American Studies of Columbia University. 410 0$aCritical Black Studies,$x2945-7424 606 $aRace 606 $aAfrican Americans 606 $aCulture 606 $aEnvironmental sciences$xSocial aspects 606 $aHuman rights 606 $aPolitical planning 606 $aRace and Ethnicity Studies 606 $aAfrican American Culture 606 $aEnvironmental Social Sciences 606 $aHuman Rights 606 $aPublic Policy 615 0$aRace. 615 0$aAfrican Americans. 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aEnvironmental sciences$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aHuman rights. 615 0$aPolitical planning. 615 14$aRace and Ethnicity Studies. 615 24$aAfrican American Culture. 615 24$aEnvironmental Social Sciences. 615 24$aHuman Rights. 615 24$aPublic Policy. 676 $a976.335064 701 $aMarable$b Manning$f1950-2011.$0518820 701 $aClarke$b Kristen$01790885 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910954863503321 996 $aSeeking Higher Ground$94331461 997 $aUNINA
