Synopsis
Does George W. Bush care about black people? Does the rest of America? 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. The federal government's slow response is by now notorious. Yet despite the cries of outrage that have mounted since the levees broke, we have failed to confront the disaster's true lesson: to be poor, or black, in today's ownership society, is to be left behind. Combining interviews with survivors with his deep knowledge of black migrations and government policy over decades, Dyson provides the historical context that has been missing from public conversation. He explores the legacy of black suffering in America since slavery, including the ways that black people are framed in the national consciousness even today.--From publisher description.

Michael Dyson applies his prodigious critical acumen to the Hurricane Katrina matter--and he sees that the natural disaster that devastated the Gulf Coast region was followed immediately by a manmade disaster that was worse. In unsparing prose, Dyson reports on how this unconscionable total breakdown of government impacted along racial lines, and he places these events within a larger context of social policy and race relations that always plague the poor and people of color. Dyson connects the dots as he reports on events, news stories, and his own interviews with survivors who tell a tale of neglect, open hostility, and poor and delayed response at the local, state, and federal levels. He is unsparing in his contempt, and his criticism falls on the media whose portrayals of people of color evinced a long-running bias that only contributes to the problem. Hurricane Katrina cut deeply into the community, and in COME HELL OR HIGH WATER, Dyson, who is a Baptist minister, offers religion as consolation, as he reports on not only what happened with Hurricane Katrina--but on what always seems to happen.
