 Come
Hell or High Water: Hurricane Katrina and the Color of Disaster
by
Michael Eric Dyson (Hardcover
- February 28, 2006) The first major book to be released about
Hurricane Katrina,
Dyson's
volume not only chronicles what happened when, it also argues that the nation's
failure to offer timely aid to Katrina's victims indicates deeper problems
in race and class relations.
Dyson's
time lines will surely be disputed, his indictments of specific
New Orleans failures defended or whitewashed.
But these points are secondary. More important are the larger questions
Dyson
(Between
God and Gangsta Rap, etc.) poses, such as "What do
politicians sold on the idea of limited governance offer to folk who need,
and deserve, the government to come to their aid?" "Does
George Bush care about black people?"
and "Do well-off black people care about poor black people?" With its abundance
of buzz-worthy coinages, like "Aframnesia" and "Afristocracy,"
Dyson's
populist style sometimes gets too cute. But his contention that Katrina
exposed a dominant culture pervaded not only by "active malice" toward poor
blacks but also by a long history of "passive indifference" to their problems
is both powerful and unsettling. Through this history of neglect,
Dyson
suggests, America has broken its social contract with poor blacks who, since
Emancipation, have assumed that government will protect all its citizens.
Yet when disaster struck the poor, the cavalry arrived four days late. |
 Eyes
of the Storm: Hurricane Katrina and Rita The Photographic Story
by
Dallas Morning News (Paperback
- January 25, 2006) The

Hurricane Katrina ravaged the Gulf
Coast at the end of August. These Pulitzer Prize-winning photographers caught
every aspect of the storm and its aftermath on film and many of those photos
will be seen for the first time in this excellent work of photojournalism. |

 The
Great Deluge : Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans, and the Mississippi Gulf
Coast by
Douglas Brinkley (Hardcover
- May 1, 2006) Historian
Brinkley (Tour of Duty, etc.)
opens his detailed examination of the awful events that took place on the
Gulf Coast late last summer by describing how a
New Orleans animal shelter
began evacuating its charges at the first notice of the impending storm.
The
Louisiana SPCA,
Brinkley none too coyly points out,
was better prepared for Katrina than the city of
New Orleans. It's groups
like the
SPCA, as well as compassionate citizens who used their own resources
to help others, whom
Brinkley hails as heroes in his
heavy, powerful account" and, unsurprisingly, authorities like
Mayor Ray Nagin,
Gov. Kathleen Blanco and former FEMA director
Michael C. Brown whom
he lambastes most fiercely. The book covers August 27 through September
3, 2005, and uses multiple narrative threads, an effect that is disorienting
but appropriate for a book chronicling the helter-skelter environment of
much of
New Orleans once the storm had passed, the levees had been breached,
and the city was awash in "toxic gumbo." Naturally outraged at the damage
wrought by the storm and worsened by the ill-prepared authorities,
Brinkley, a
New Orleans resident,
is generally levelheaded, even when reporting on Brown's shallow e-mails
to friends while "the trapped were dying" or recounting heretofore unreported
atrocities, such as looters defecating on property as a mark of empowerment. |

 The
Storm : What Went Wrong and Why During Hurricane Katrina--the Inside Story
from One Louisiana Scientist by
Ivor Van Heerden,
Mike Bryan (Hardcover - May
18, 2006) It was a natural disaster—but magnified enormously by government’s
crushing incompetence in both preparation and response. The storm leveled
the
Mississippi Gulf Coast, but man-made
problems destroyed
New Orleans. The catastrophic flooding there should never
have happened. Properly designed and constructed levees would have protected
the city. Instead, they collapsed. Never in American history has a natural
disaster been magnified so disastrously by the systemic failure of our government
to protect and serve the people. The result is the national tragedy known
forevermore as simply Katrina. |

 Through
the Eye of the Storm: A Book Dedicated to Rebuilding What Katrina Washed
Away by
Cholene Espinoza (Paperback
- May 2006)
Through the Eye of the Storm is a rallying cry for working Americans
and an indictment of the public and commercial sources of assistance that
have failed them. Espinoza details the seemingly insurmountable red tape,
systemic barriers, and inequities in disaster assistance for people who
have no means to complain or demand better. Common stereotypes about race,
religion, poverty, government assistance, single parenthood—even our notions
of charity—are challenged when seen
Through the Eye of the Storm . This is a story of loss and recovery,
of the ravages of disaster and the healing power of community. |
