From Thomas Jefferson to George W Bush - this title presents the
history of the Mississippi Delta, fully updated with a new chapter
on Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath. How could the Mississippi
Delta, one of the world's most prolific cultural centres, be
demolished by a predictable natural disaster? This revised edition
of Clyde Woods' classic book examines disaster relief and
reconstruction conflicts after Hurricane Katrina. Development
Arrested also traces the decline and resurrection of plantation
ideology in national public policy discourse from Thomas Jefferson
to George W Bush, documenting the unceasing attacks on the gains of
the Civil Rights Movement and how, despite having suffered
countless defeats at the hands of the planter regime, African
Americans in the Delta region have continued to push forward their
agenda for social, economic and cultural justice. Woods examines
the role of the blues in sustaining their efforts, surveying a
musical tradition - including jazz, rock and roll, soul and hip-hop
- that has embraced a radical vision of social change.
