Disastrous Consequences

Examines the political and social problems that underlie and exacerbate the effects of disasters, be they natural or "man-made." This book argues that media reports during Hurricane Katrina worked to deny or disguise institutionalized racism, suppressing potential dissent and controversy. It also explores the conditions of life in Detroit.
