Losing ground
2010
Burley, David M.
"People along Louisiana's southeastern coast hold a deep attachment to place, and this shows in the urgency of the narratives David M. Burley collects here. The meanings that residents attribute to coastal land loss reflect a tenuous and uprooted sense of self. The process of coastal land loss and all of its socal components, from the familial to the political, affects these residents' concepts of history and the future. Burle updates many of his subjects' narratives to reveal what has happened in the wake of the back-to-back disasters Hurricanes Katrina and Rita"--Page 4 of cover.
