The Color of Disaster
Hurricane Katrina exposed many failures in federal disaster management, but it also renewed the national conversation about race and poverty in America. In his new book, Michael Eric Dyson examines the deeper meaning of the disaster by putting the experiences of New Orleanians in context with prior black migrations. Plus: What to do if you notice child abuse, a call-in about the American auto-industry, a lawsuit by immigrants deported after 9/11, and the state of homelessness in New York City.
