Review # 1 was written on 2013-10-31 00:00:00 Tomas Lajdar A very interesting look at Hurricane Katrina from the important, and under-appreciated perspective of black intellectuals. A compilation of short articles, After the Storm addresses issues and, most importantly, raises questions with regards to Hurricane Katrina as a political, racial, social and ultimately American catastrophe. While some articles speak to Katrina directly, for example brining litigation against those responsible for crimes that have yet to be names, others use the framework of Katrina to address more broadly issues of how race and class are perceived in America. This is one of my first reads into what one might call critical race theory and I fully appreciate the perspectives presented. I wish I knew more then I do to better understand some of the questions raised and issues put forth, but, all I can do is continue to read and continue the dialogues that are important to this field of study. Long live New Orleans. . .

Review # 2 was written on 2007-09-17 00:00:00 Ian Cameron An interesting look at the aftermath of Katrina and how the changing perspective of the nation through the media of the victims and the struggles they faced. Each section was made up of different articles, but there were common themes throughout the book.
