Recenzii

Racing the Storm uses race as a way to study it[Hurrican Katrina]. Highly recommended.
This book highlights the race-based perceptions of and responses to Katrina survivors by governmental entities, volunteers, the media, and the general public. Scholars from a variety of disciplines take on the task of analyzing the social phenomena and racial implications surrounding Hurricane Katrina.
Racing the Storm: Racial Implications and Lessons Learned from Hurricane Katrina is a wide ranging exploration of the many phases of the catastrophe, from social psychological statistical analysis of social identity and attributions explanations of race-based perceptions, the meaning of crime and looting from the perspectives of Black and minority people, the history and emerging racialization of Latino immigrants in New Orleands, to an intriguing comparison of Katrina and the human suffering caused by the war in Iraq. I strongly recommend it.
