      abstract = {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.},
