Sample Book Insights:
#1 New Orleans neighborhoods do not work like those in other cities. The rich live on higher ground, and the poor live in the valleys. This has given New Orleans a chaotic topography of inequality.
#2 New Orleans has been experiencing a gentrification of its neighborhoods, with national media outlets publishing articles and stories about the city’s magical hedonism. But the city’s priorities have been made clear by the fact that while officials have gone on media tours celebrating the economic growth of the city, they have stopped tracking or even talking about its still-exiled population.
#3 I met many African Americans in New Orleans who still referred to the area as St. Thomas, even after it was redeveloped and renamed the Irish Channel or the Lower Garden District.
#4 Bigard has struggled to find a job since Katrina. She has worked in nonprofit organizations for nearly twenty years, but now is trying to expand her horizons to scrape together cash. She has been showing desks for lease in a co-working space in a renovated building on a newly gentrified block.
