If Not Us, Than Who?: Performing Pedagogies of Hope in Post-Katrina America
In: Cultural studies - critical methodologies, Band 7, Heft 2, S. 169-187
ISSN: 1552-356X
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.
