Returning, and Rebuilding, New Orleans

Roberta Brandes Gratz talks about New Orleans’ revival in the years following Hurricane Katrina. In We’re Still Here Ya Bastards: How the People of New Orleans Rebuilt Their City, she shares the stories of people who returned to their homes and have taken the rebuilding of their city into their own hands, in the face of a violent and corrupt prison system, the tragic closing of Charity Hospital, a fractured public education, and the rise of gentrification.
