I just finished this and found it to be a good read. I am a New Orleanian who returned within a few weeks after the flood.Rivlin's book pays appropriate attention to the Lakefront and New Orleans East, which were largely ignored by the media at the time, who focused so heavily on the Lower Ninth Ward. It well describes the role of Baton Rouge as a major safe harbor, temporary home, and hub for many of those eager to return. The book brought back many memories of immediate post-Katrina of Orleans: the terrible smell of the air, refrigerators on the street, dishonest contractors, National Guard in the city, and the "Katrina cough" that most of us had. I feel that it also gives an honest discussion of the racial issues and the desire of many whites to use Katrina as an opportunity to downsize the black population of New Orleans. There is a whole more to the book, of course, but these were things that I particularly appreciated about it.
An extremely, well researched book on the many facets, factors and individual response to this great "Natural" and man-made tragedy. In so many ways a Sad, condemning time in the racial history of this country. For black people another reaffirming example for how through the lowest times, still we are able to Rise!! May New Orleans continue to be the unique, wonderfully ethnic diverse place it has always been in this country.
Recently released, Katrina, After the Flood, by NY Times reporter, Gary Rivlin, is a rich and focused look at the efforts to help New Orleans recover and is full of lessons for any one who cares about improving conditions in America's cities. There are some inspiring successes and too many colossal failures in the efforts to bring New Orleans back. There are the depressing and even comical leadership failures of Mayor Nagin and President Bush but even more disturbing is the sheer inability of government bureaucracies to even care about being effective. In the chapter entitled "Eight Feet Across," Rivlin describes how the state of Louisiana hired a consultant to map out how to use HUD funds that had been provided for rebuilding housing. His flow chart laying out the steps required to secure HUD funds was eight feet across. Said an official working on the recovery, "It took us six months just to get two feet." Even in the midst of one of the worst disasters in our lifetime, HUD could not get out of its own way. Many American cities face the same challenges of disinvestment and population loss that devastated New Orleans (although in a more slow burn kind of way) and an effective public sector will be essential to their revitalization. But we are going to need to revitalize or recreate the agencies that are suppose to help.
I loved Katrina: After the Flood. It's a terrific read that walks us through the horror of Katrina from the time when it hit through the rebuilding of New Orleans. The writer, a former colleague of mine at the NYTimes, brings us into vivid conversations and discussions between the New Orleans Mayor, the Louisiana Governor, President Bush and other key officials, as well as the people who were appointed to plan and execute the reconstruction. He describes gripping and heartbreaking scenes during the ordeal, and introduces us to fascinating characters whose lives were upended by the flood. I don't think I understood the magnitude of the devastation, the challenges of rebuilding a ravaged city, or the racial and economic inequities that the hurricane exposed and sharpened until I read this great book. A must read.
Gary Rivlin writes his journalistic account with the readability of a novel. You'll get to know people who created some of the greatest misery in the history of this country, and you might even understand how they came to do it. If you weren't in New Orleans during the hurricane and recovery, you'll be shocked by the stories. And if you ever wondered how the human will can triumph against terrible odds, you might learn something here.
An interesting well written read, however once again the fantastic work of the St. Bernard Project and volunteers who have helped rebuild 100's of homes and lives in and around New Orleans, has been totally overlooked. SBP has been a huge factor in bringing back to life communities not only in St. Bernard Parish, the Lower 9th, New Orleans East, Gentilly ... but now also on a State-wide basis, following other catastrophic natural disasters including both Texas and S. Carolina just this year. It would be interesting to see their efforts mentioned in such detailed reports about Katrina and rebuilding NOLA.
This is a wonderful, in-depth report of what happened in NOLA after the camera crews packed up shortly after Katrina. Along the way, we get to know key people and their impact on the attempted recovery, the efforts to leverage this "opportunity" into a means of reinventing NOLA, and not for the better. The reporting is thorough, the writing is crisp, evocative and empathetic. Anyone with even a slight interest in this recent American tragedy would do well to read Rivlin's book.
This is a book about an important event in history that reads like a novel. Gary Rivlin has found some very interesting characters with different perspectives - from a friend of President Bush's leading the planning after the storm to a radical community organizer working on the ground - and he weaves their stories together to build a really compelling story about what has happened to New Orleans after the storm. Originally sent by the New York Times just after the storm hit, Rivlin apparently found the story hard to leave behind. He follows characters as they initially evacuate New Orleans or stay put to weather out the storm, and then try to navigate the maze of recovery efforts - some working to shape those, some just trying to figure out how to put their lives and neighborhoods back together. A really engrossing read.
