Synopsis

Voices Rising II is the second book created from the archives of The Katrina Narrative Project, a sweeping enterprise by the University of New Orleans to collect diverse accounts and histories from Louisiana citizens who endured Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Culled from hundreds of manuscripts, audio recordings and interviews housed at the University of New Orleans Library, the stories provide an exceptional record for the understanding and study of collapse and reorganization, disaster and recovery.
