State of Disaster: A Historical Geography of Louisiana's Land Loss
Crisis explores Louisiana's protracted efforts to restore and
protect its coastal marshes, nearly always with minimal regard for
the people displaced by those efforts. As Craig E. Colten shows,
the state's coastal restoration plan seeks to protect cities and
industry but sacrifices the coastal dwellers who have maintained
their presence in this perilous place for centuries. This
historical geography examines in turn the adaptive capacity of
those living through repeated waves of calamity; the numerous
disjointed environmental management regimes that contributed to the
current crisis; the cartographic visualizations of land loss used
to activate public coastal policy; and the phases of public input
that nevertheless failed to give voice to the citizens most
impacted by various environmental management strategies. In
closing, Colten situates Louisiana's experience within broader
discussions of climate change and recovery from repeated crises.
