      abstract = {When the images of desperate, hungry, thirsty, sick,  mostly black people circulated in the aftermath of  Hurricane Katrina, it became apparent to the whole country  that race did indeed matter when it came to government  assistance. In The Wrong Complexion for Protection, Robert  D. Bullard and Beverly Wright place the government response  to natural and human-induced disasters in historical  context over the past eight decades. They compare and  contrast how the government responded to emergencies,  including environmental and public health emergencies,  toxic contamination, industrial accidents, bioterrorism  threats and show that African Americans are  disproportionately affected. Bullard and Wright argue that  uncovering and eliminating disparate disaster response can  mean the difference between life and death for those most  vulnerable in disastrous times.},
