Consuming Katrina: Public Disaster and Personal Narrative: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Consuming Katrina: Public Disaster and Personal Narrative" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

When and under what circumstances are disaster survivors able to speak for themselves in the public arena? In Consuming Katrina: Public Disaster and Personal Narrative, author Kate Parker Horigan shows how the public understands and remembers large-scale disasters like Hurricane Katrina, outlining which stories are remembered and why, as well as the impact on public memory and the survivors themselves.
Horigan discusses unique contexts in which personal narratives about the storm are shared, including interviews with survivors, Dave Eggerss Zeitoun, Josh Neufelds A.D.: New Orleans After the Deluge, Tia Lessin and Carl Deals Trouble the Water, and public commemoration during Hurricane Katrinas tenth anniversary in New Orleans. In each case, survivors initially present themselves in specific ways, counteracting negative stereotypes that characterize their communities. However, when adapted for public presentation, their stories get reduced back to those stereotypes. As a result, people affected by Katrina continue to be seen in limited terms, as either undeserving or incapable of managing recovery.
This project is rooted in Horigans experiences living in New Orleans before and after Katrina, but it is also a case study illustrating an ongoing problem and an innovative solution: survivors stories should be shared in a way that includes their own engagement with the processes of narrative production, circulation, and reception. When survivors are seen as agents in their own stories, they will be seen as agents in their own recovery. Having a better grasp on the processes of narration and memory is critical for improved disaster response because the stories that are most widely shared about disaster determine how communities recover.

Folklore Studies in a Multicultural World
The Folklore Studies in a Multicultural World series is a collaborative venture of the University of Illinois Press, the University Press of Mississippi, the University of Wisconsin Press, and the American Folklore Society, made possible by a generous grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The series emphasizes the interdisciplinary and international nature of current folklore scholarship, documenting connections between communities and their cultural production. Series volumes highlight aspects of folklore studies such as world folk cultures, folk art and music, foodways, dance, African American and ethnic studies, gender and queer studies, and popular culture.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Someone once told me that looking at the acknowledgments in books exposes the lie that writing is a solitary act. This book was certainly not created in solitude, and I owe thanks to all of those who made it possible and kept me company in one way or another.
The earliest seed of this project was planted in a literature seminar with Molly Travis at Tulane University, in the first semester following Hurricane Katrina. Even before that, though, I must thank the Department of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University, who took me in during the Katrina semester, when I might not have otherwise continued my studies.
At Ohio State, Amy Shuman was a champion of this research from the beginning, and she has continued to be a profound influence in my intellectual and personal life. My thanks also to Ray Cashman, Wendy Hesford, and Maurice Stevens for their help in shaping earlier versions of this book. I received support from the English Department and the Center for Folklore Studies at OSU and found incredible resources and communities there. Thanks especially to Elizabeth Bell, Katie Carmichael, Brad Freeman, Ryan Friedman, Alejandro Jacky, Anne Jansen, Meg LeMay, Barbara Lloyd, Brandon Manning, Corinne Martin, Brian McAllister, Dave McLaughlin, Galey Modan, Dorothy Noyes, Cassie Patterson, RaShelle Peck, Jim Phelan, Joe Ponce, and Catherine Sundt Vieira. The Writing in Depth Academic Writing Retreat, hosted by Maurice Stevens and Michelle Rivera-Clonch at Hope Springs Institute in Ohio, provided the physical and mental space to make writing progress at critical junctures.
Dorothy Noyes introduced me to Carl Lindahl, who introduced me to Pat Jasper, Shari Smothers, and the Surviving Katrina and Rita in Houston Project, which led me to the central claims of this book. Carl Lindahls input and support have been invaluable through every step of this project, and his work with survivors continues to inspire me and teach me that there is much more to be done. I am indebted to all the participants of the SKRH interview project; moreover, I am thankful to all survivors who were willing to share their stories with me for the purpose of this research, including those at the Delgado Storytelling Workshop, which would not have happened without Cathy Cooney Davis, Melanie Deffendall, Lica Gamble, and Matt Palumbo.
I am grateful to the colleagues I worked with as a lecturer at Indiana University, in the Department of Folklore and Ethnomusicology, especially for feedback on parts of this work offered by Henry Glassie, Diane Goldstein, John McDowell, and Pravina Shukla. Thanks also to Jesse Fivecoate and Maria Trogolo for their insights in our small but mighty seminar on folklore and disaster.
At Western Kentucky, I continue to be surrounded by supportive and inspiring colleagues. My thanks especially go to Erika Brady, Ann Ferrell, and Michael Ann Williams for their input. Potter College of Arts and Letters provided me with professional development funding that enabled research in New Orleans. I also appreciate the feedback offered by the Potter College Writing Group. Rachel Haberman provided essential research and editing assistance, all while finishing her masters in folk studies and having a baby girl.
Six months after having my own baby girl, when I could not imagine writing a coherent sentence, much less finishing a book, I received notice that the University Press of Mississippi had selected my book proposal for the Folklore Studies in a Multicultural World author workshop. That workshop, supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the American Folklore Society, launched me into the final stages of manuscript preparation. All of the author, mentor, and editor participants provided helpful feedback, especially my workshop mentor, Jay Mechling, and my first editor, Craig Gill. I have since had the pleasure of working with Katie Keene, Mary Heath, and others at the press, and I appreciate their guidance. I am also indebted to my copyeditor, Camille Hale, and to the two anonymous reviewers for their time and their extremely helpful insights.
Along the way, I have also sought and received excellent advice from Carrie Gillogly, Spencer Parker, Cynthia Kimball, andat pretty much every pointSheila Bock. Finally, I am always filled with loving gratitude when I think of my immediate and extended family: my parents, Craig and Betsy Parker; my in-laws John and Debbie Horigan; my siblings/siblings-in-law and their spouses and children; and, especially, my husband, Patrick, and our daughter, Grace.
