The Women of Katrina: How Gender, Race, and Class Matter in an American Disaster - Paperback
by Emmanuel David (Editor), Elaine Enarson (Editor)
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.
A powerful blend of firsthand accounts and original research
