The Continuing Storm is a succinct volume about how racism, poverty, and other human-made injustices exacerbate natural disasters. * Foreword Reviews * [The Katrina Bookshelf] is the only series of writings that explores the multiple levels of a disaster and its extended aftermath over a nearly two-decade period. As such, the series provides a much needed understanding of the complexity of disaster response and recovery, of long-term toll disaster takes on people, families, and communities. The Continuing Storm serves as a series capstone of sorts, locating Katrina in both time and space while revisiting the chaos fostered by the immediate storm and flooding. The book also extensively reviews the impact of race and racism on Katrina response and recovery. * Recovery Diva *
