In doing so, it reveals a series of compelling links between a diverse selection of texts and a powerful, under-scrutinized connection between Katrina, 9\/11 and that preceding disaster's divisive legacies. This is urgent yet nuanced scholarship and Keeble navigates a path through complex debates about trauma, memory and nationhood in an unfailingly articulate and insightful fashion.'\u003cbr\u003e-- Samuel Thomas, Associate Professor in the Department of English Studies, Durham University, UK\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e​'Bringing race, place and politics into painful focus, Arin Keeble's \u003ci\u003eNarratives of Hurricane Katrina in Context\u003c\/i\u003e offers an excellent and authoritative study of Katrina's cultural legacy.'\u003cbr\u003e-- James Annesley, Senior Lecturer in American Literature, Newcastle University, UK\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e'In \u003ci\u003eNarratives of Hurricane Katrina in Context\u003c\/i\u003e, Arin Keeble provides a vital examination of the \"slow violence\" linking cultural responses to 9\/11 and Hurricane Katrina.
