The Battle for Lower Ninth: ACORN and the Rebuilding of New Orleans
(2008)
In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, urban planners,
pundits and corporate power-brokers wrote off the iconic Lower Ninth Ward of
New Orleans as uninhabitable for its African-American community, who were
denied the right of return to the homes they had lived in for generations.
Two years on the Lower Ninth, the touchstone for every debate about the
city's future, has become a unique example of success in a city still
struggling to reconstruct itself. In this agenda-setting new book, Wade
Rathke tells the story of this popular struggle against seemingly
insurmountable odds, from the perspective of those at the heart of the fight
to save New Orleans for its people. A critical turning point in the
reconstruction of this devastated American city, The Battle for Lower
Ninth is an inspiring account of how communities can take on corporate
and political interests and win.
