Come Hell or High Water: Hurricane
Katrina and the Color of Disaster by
Michael Eric Dyson
A Compelling And Descriptive Audio About Hurricane Katrina And The Aftermath
When Hurricane Katrina tore through New Orleans and the Gulf Coast,
hundreds of thousands were left behind to suffer the ravages of
destruction, disease, and even death. The majority of these people were
black; nearly all were poor. Displaying the intellectual rigor, political
passion, and personal empathy that have won him acclaim and fans all
across the color line, Michael Eric Dyson offers a searing assessment of
the meaning of Hurricane Katrina. With this clarion call Dyson warns us
that we can only find redemption as a society if we acknowledge that
Katrina was more than an engineering or emergency response failure.
Whats at stake is no less than the future of democracy.
Personal Review: Come Hell or High Water: Hurricane Katrina
and the Color of Disaster by Michael Eric Dyson

Come Hell or High Water is a scathing audiobook indictment of the Bush
administration's and FEMA's failures to sufficiently aid New Orleans' mostly
poor, mostly black population in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Heavily
researched, Come Hell or High Water explores Katrina as the latest link in
a legacy of black suffering perpetuated by the apathy of middle and upper
class Americans of all races. Above all, Come Hell or High Water charges
that American society's destructive path toward its African-American poor
can only be altered if the public acknowledges that the Katrina debacle
was far more than simply an engineering or emergency response failure.
The means by which America and its people relate to its poor must
undergo a transformation; nothing less than the future of democracy is at
stake - a message sure to resonate with readers of all races.
