| Der Hurrikan Katrina verursachte zahlreiche soziale Ungleichheiten. Während die Debatten über "Race"- und Klassenbeziehungen in New Orleans und in der Diaspora großen Raum einnahmen und -nehmen, bleibt der genderspezifische Aspekt interessanterweise sowohl im öffentlichen als auch im wissenschaftlichen Diskurs unterbelichtet. Dieser Sammelband umfasst empirische Forschung und Erzählungen zu genderspezifischen Auswirkungen des Hurrikans aus erster Hand. Zu Wort kommen Frauen aus unterschiedlichen ökonomischen, politischen, ethnischen und geographischen Zusammenhängen, die sowohl Schwachstellen vor der Katastrophe als auch genderspezifische Aspekte in der Katastrophenhilfe sowie weibliche Zusammenschlüsse und Kämpfe in der Phase des Wiederaufbaus erläutern und untersuchen.
