Hurricane Katrina made landfall on the American Gulf Coast on
August 29, 2005. Biloxi, Mississippi, a small town on the coast,
was one of the towns devastated directly by the storm. Recovery has
lasted years, influenced not only by the structure of the society
as it existed in the years leading up to Katrina, but shaped also
by years of repeated hurricane devastation and recovery periods. In
Mississippi After Katrina, Jennifer Trivedi explores this recovery
process and what pre-disaster cultural, historical, social,
political, and economic distinctions shaped Biloxi and Biloxians'
recovery through ethnographic, media, and historic document
research and analysis. Questions of housing and home at the heart
of many Biloxians' recovery are tied to the local job market and
its reliance on the gambling industry in the years prior. But of
course, communities are tied together by more than an economy.
Trivedi examines how networks of people, groups, and institutions
played out in the period of preparation and recovery, aiding in
each process and reinforcing the distinctions that existed before
the storm.
