The aftermath of Hurricane Katrina provides an important lens into the various dimensions environmental justice in New Orleans. In particular, the hurricane served to highlight disparities in health and well-being that already existed in the region and to foreground the vulnerabilities of poor, working class, and minority communities. Disputes over local vs cosmopolitan knowledge and questions about whose science and whose knowledge ‘counts’ in the reclamation of the city play out in the politics of rebuilding this historic place.
