Come Hell or High Water:
Hurricane Katrina and Natural, Racial and Economic Disasters

Monday, April 10, 6pm

with Michael Eric Dyson

Come Hell or High Water, Dyson's newest book, available in January 2006, is a compelling analysis of the racial, economic and political disasters that harmed the black poor along the Gulf Coast long before Hurricane Katrina struck. Dyson’s illuminating narrative of how the government failed the poor is matched by his equally brilliant story of how color, class and religion shaped our response to Katrina. Michael Eric Dyson, named by Essence magazine as one of the 50 most inspiring African Americans, is one of the nation’s most renowned public intellectuals and is currently the Avalon Foundation Professor in the Humanities, and Professor of Religious Studies and Africana Studies, at the University of Pennsylvania.
