This article engages with and challenges the dominant mediated pedagogies circulating in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Interweaving firsthand accounts of the rescue/recovery effort in Louisiana with a critical interrogation of the cultural/political response to the devastation, the text crisscrosses ages, genders, religious, and political affiliations; agreement and disagreement; and racial and class-based logics while painting a disturbing-yet paradoxically hopeful-picture of (post-)Katrina America.
