Tracing a life of radical activism and the emergence of a
grassroots organization in the face of disaster, this chronicle
describes scott crow's headlong rush into the political storm
surrounding the catastrophic failure of the levee in New Orleans in
2005 and the subsequent failure of state and local government
agencies in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. It recounts crow's
efforts with others in the community to found Common Ground
Collective, a grassroots relief organization that built medical
clinics, set up food and water distribution, and created community
gardens when local government agencies, FEMA, and the Red Cross
were absent or ineffective. The members also stood alongside the
beleaguered residents of New Orleans in resisting home demolitions,
white militias, police brutality, and FEMA incompetence. This
vivid, personal account maps the intersection of radical ideology
with pragmatic action and chronicles a community's efforts to
translate ideals into tangible results. This expanded second
edition includes up-to-date interviews and discussions between crow
and some of today's most articulate and influential activists and
organizers on topics ranging from grassroots disaster relief
efforts, both economic and environmental; dealing with
infiltration, interrogation, and surveillance from the federal
government; and a new photo section that vividly portrays scott's
experiences as an anarchist, activist, and movement organizer in
today's world.
