Here is an excellent article about the physical and cultural condition of the city of New Orleans. In May, before my fellowship, I had the opportunity to see first hand how long New Orleans and the rest of the gulf coast have to go to get back to pre-Katrina conditions. The chasmic dichotomy of the haves and the have-nots in New Orleans, along with the city's diminished middle-class is a microcosm of the injustice that poverty in this country presents.
