Southern Cultures
Southern Cultures Releases Special Issue on Hurricane Katrina
With photographs and stories never published before, Southern Cultures looks at the South's most infamous natural disaster like no one else ever has—or ever will—and shows how one hurricane splintered a city, a delta, and a nation. Three years after Katrina, Southern Cultures finally tells the stories of the seven survivors who fled upstairs to the last room in a floating, twisting, disintegrating inn—and what happened when those last four walls collapsed into the storm surge. We reveal how Plaquemines Parish pulled off a stunning evacuation of one of the poorest and most vulnerable stretches at the mouth of the Mississippi and how Hollywood predicted Katrina's aftermath in a 1938 film. We expose how the federal government's reengineering of the Mississippi sank New Orleans even further below sea level before the Cat-4 sat on top of the city. We tell how the National Guard threw food at the feet of New Orleans evacuees and how one man paddled a boat with his dead mother aboard to rescue the homeless and desperate.
