More than fifteen years later, Hurricane Katrina maintains a strong
grip on the American imagination. The reason is not simply that
Katrina was an event of enormous scale, although it certainly was
by any measure one of the most damaging storms in American history.
But, quite apart from its lethality and destructiveness, Katrina
retains a place in living memory because it is one of the most
telling disasters in our recent national experience, revealing
important truths about our society and ourselves. The final volume
in the award-winning Katrina Bookshelf series Higher Ground
reflects upon what we have learned about Katrina and about America.
Kai Erikson and Lori Peek expand our view of the disaster by
assessing its ongoing impact on individual lives and across the
wide-ranging geographies where displaced New Orleanians landed
after the storm. Such an expanded view, the authors argue, is
critical for understanding the human costs of catastrophe across
time and space. Concluding with a broader examination of disasters
in the years since Katrina-including COVID-19-The Continuing Storm
is a sobering meditation on the duration of a catastrophe that
continues to exact steep costs in human suffering.
