Hurricane Katrina inflicted damage on a scale unprecedented in
American history, nearly destroying a major city and killing
thousands of its citizens. With far too little help from
indifferent, incompetent government agencies, the poor bore the
brunt of the disaster. The residents of traditionally impoverished
and minority communities suffered incalculable losses and endured
unimaginable conditions. And the few facilities that did exist to
help victims quickly became miserable, dangerous places. Now, the
victims of Hurricane Katrina find themselves spread across the
United States, far from the homes they left and faced with the
prospect of starting anew. Families are struggling to secure jobs,
homes, schools, and a sense of place in unfamiliar surroundings.
Meanwhile, the rebuilding of their former home remains frustrating
out of their hands. This bracing read brings readers to the heart
of the disaster and its aftermath as those who survived it speak
with candor and eloquence of their lives then and now.
