Book Reviews of Why New Orleans Matters

Book Review: Before and after New Orleans
Summary: 5 Stars

The author writes about life in New Orleans before the storm. He remembers the bands, the food, and the earning of money by families. After the flood, he talks about what needs to be done to bring life that used to be back to New Orleans. The public in New Orleans, the local and national government are all resources that the author supposes can be used to remake New Orleans.
