The plays collected in this volume give artistic expression to the devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina. In so doing, they also illuminate many social, political, and environmental issues central to American life. Besides telling the kinds of stories that the news media could not, these plays explore the deeply rooted problems plaguing New Orleans. The factual basis of these plays serves a documentary purpose, but, as drama, they also depict the flood`s consequences for individuals – unimaginable loss, powerlessness, displacement. The plays collected here – Rising Water by John Biguenet; The Breach by Catherine Filloux, Tarell Alvin McCraney, and Joe Sutton; Because They Have No Words by Tim Maddock and Lotti Louise Pharrissis; Trash Bag Tourist by Samuel Brett Williams; and Katrina: The K Word by Lisa Brenner and Suzanne Trauth – show how theatre can both enhance our understanding of disastrous events and facilitate a sense of community between audiences and those who experienced them.

Beyond Katrina (Paperback)


$25.13


Beyond Katrina is poet Natasha Trethewey`s very personal profile of the Mississippi Gulf Coast and of the people there whose lives were forever changed by hurricane Katrina.Trethewey spent her childhood in Gulfport, where much of her mother`s extended family, including her younger brother, still lives. As she worked to understand the devastation that followed the hurricane, Trethewey found inspiration in Robert Penn Warren`s book Segregation: The Inner Conflict in the South, in which he spoke with southerners about race in the wake of the Brown decision, capturing an event of wide impact from multiple points of view. Weaving her own memories with the experiences of family, friends, and neighbors, Trethewey traces the erosion of local culture and the rising economic dependence on tourism and casinos. She chronicles decades of wetland development that exacerbated the destruction and portrays a Gulf Coast whose citizens?particularly African Americans?were on the margins of American life well before the storm hit. Most poignantly, Trethewey illustrates the destruction of the hurricane through the story of her brother`s efforts to recover what he lost and his subsequent incarceration.Renowned for writing about the idea of home, Trethewey`s attempt to understand and document the damage to Gulfport started as a series of lectures at the University of Virginia that were subsequently published as essays in the Virginia Quarterly Review. For Beyond Katrina, Trethewey has expanded this work into a narrative that incorporates personal letters, poems, and photographs, offering a moving meditation on the love she holds for her childhood home.A Sarah Mills Hodge Fund Publication.

"Even if you think you`ve seen it all where Katrina`s concerned, trust me, you`re going to love Shaw`s marvelous memoir."—The Times-Picayune"An engaging variation on a near mythic theme."—Gambit WeeklyHurricane Story is a visual tale told in about fifty photographs and simple, understated prose. The first-person narrative, illustrated with toys and dolls, depicts Jennifer Shaw`s evacuation adventures, including the dramatic birth of a son on the day Katrina made landfall, the pressures on her marriage as the couple struggles with depression and rage, and the return to New Orleans with their newest family member in time for Mardi Gras. Her depiction of toys and dolls in place of the real-life items suggests a person working through trauma. The photographs from her Holga camera, at turns humorous and haunting, contrast deftly with the prose.Jennifer Shaw is a fine-art photographer in New Orleans. She has a BFA in photography from the Rhode Island School of Design. Her work is held in both private and public collections, including the Huntsville Museum of Art, the New Orleans Museum of Art, and Ogden Museum of Southern Art. For Hurricane Story, she took the photographs with a Holga camera, an inexpensive toy camera originally from China. These simple plastic devices lend a whimsical spontaneity to the act of photographing. Although they offer little control in making exposures, their quirks can sometimes result in magic.

If Hurricane Ike had made landfall just fifty miles down the Texas coast, the devastation and death caused by what was already one of the most destructive hurricanes in US history would have quadrupled. Ike made everyone realize just how exposed and vulnerable the Houston-Galveston area is in the face of a major storm. What is done to address this vulnerability will shape the economic, social, and environmental landscape of the region for decades to come.In Lessons from Hurricane Ike, Philip Bedient and the research team at the Severe Storm Prediction, Education, and Evacuation from Disasters (SSPEED) Center at Rice University provide an overview of some of the research being done in the Houston-Galveston region in the aftermath of Hurricane Ike. The center was formed shortly after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005. Its research examines everything from surge and inland flooding to bridge infrastructure.Lessons from Hurricane Ike gathers the work of some of the premier researchers in the fields of hurricane prediction and impact, summarizing it in accessible language accompanied by abundant illustrations?not just graphs and charts, but dramatic photos and informative maps. Orienting readers to the history and basic meteorology of severe storms along the coast, the book then revisits the impact of Hurricane Ike and discusses what scientists and engineers are studying as they look at flooding, storm surges, communications, emergency response, evacuation planning, transportation issues, coastal resiliency, and the future sustainability of the nation`s fourth largest metropolitan area.
