Books on New Orleans

Here is something to get things going...D'Ann, can you recommended a couple of books about New Orleans and Hurricane Katrina, that would be good for a person who knows a little bit about the city and the disaster from the news, but never read any formal histories or city-ographies? Thanks!

Hi 2007 Fellows and Faculty!

Welcome to the 2007 Summer Institute Alumni Blog! This, ideally, will be a place where we can continue the conversations and thoughts that were started at the Institute, test out new ideas and theories, and present our works in progress for comments and gentle criticism. You can also use this space to organize reunions, post cool events relating to oral history in your area, and receive information about the upcoming MA program and events from the Columbia University Oral History Research Office. Finally, you can use this as a space to reflect on your experiences interviewing for your projects, and ask advice on everything from how to deal with difficult situation to what equipment you've had good AND bad experiences using. This is your blog...have fun!
