The transformative event known as "Katrina" exposed long-standing
social inequalities. While debates rage about race and class
relations in New Orleans and the Katrina diaspora, gender remains
curiously absent from public discourse and scholarly analysis. This
volume draws on original research and firsthand narratives from
women in diverse economic, political, ethnic, and geographic
contexts to portray pre-Katrina vulnerabilities, gender concerns in
post-disaster housing and assistance, and women's collective
struggles to recover from this catastrophe.
