"Children of Katrina offers one of the only long-term, multiyear studies of young
people following disaster. Sociologists Alice Fothergill and Lori Peek spent seven
years after Hurricane Katrina interviewing and observing several hundred children
and their family members, friends, neighbors, teachers, and other caregivers. In this
book, they focus intimately on seven children between the ages of three and eighteen,
selected because they exemplify the varied experiences of the larger group. They find
that children followed three different post-disaster trajectories--declining, finding
equilibrium, and fluctuating--as they tried to regain stability. The children's moving
stories illuminate how a devastating disaster affects individual health and well-being,
family situations, housing and neighborhood contexts, schooling, peer relationships,
and extracurricular activities. This work also demonstrates how outcomes were often
worse for children who were vulnerable and living in crisis before the storm. Fothergill
and Peek clarify what kinds of assistance children need during emergency response
and recovery periods, as well as the individual, familial, social, and structural
factors that aid or hinder children in getting that support."--Publisher's Web site
