engaging adolescents and their families in home, school, and

"Katrina's Imprint" highlights the power of this sentinel American
event and its continuing reverberations in contemporary politics,
culture, and public policy. Published on the fifth anniversary of
Hurricane Katrina, the multidisciplinary volume reflects on how
history, location, access to transportation, health care, and
social position feed resilience, recovery, and prospects for the
future of New Orleans and the Gulf region. Essays examine the
intersecting vulnerabilities that gave rise to the disaster,
explore the cultural and psychic legacies of the storm, reveal how
the process of rebuilding and starting over replicates past
vulnerabilities, and analyze Katrina's imprint alongside American's
myths of self-sufficiency. A case study of new weaknesses that have
emerged in our era, this book offers an argument for why we cannot
wait for the next disaster before we apply the lessons that should
be learned from Katrina.
