Displaying the intellectual rigor, political passion, and personal empathy that have won him acclaim, Dyson offers a searing assessment of the meaning of Hurricane Katrina. He warns that society must acknowledge that Katrina was more than an engineering or emergency response failure.



Book Synopsis



When Hurricane Katrina tore through New Orleans, hundreds of thousands were left behind to suffer the ravages of destruction, disease and death. The majority were black, and nearly all were poor. This work examines what Hurricane Katrina reveals about the fault lines of race and poverty in America - and what lessons we must take from the flood.
