A first-hand account of community, culture and resistance in New Orleans, from gay rappers, Mardi Gras Indians, Latino immigrants and grassroots activists in the years before and after Hurricane Katrina. From post-Katrina evacuee camps to torture testimony at Angola Prison and the Jena Six, a group of black teenagers at the centre of a race row, Floodlines tells the stories behind the headlines from an unforgettable time and place in history.
Flaherty is a writer and community organizer based in New Orleans. His journalism played an important role in bringing the infamous case of the Jena Six to worldwide attention. His post-Katrina writing in ColorLines Magazine shared a journalism award from New America Media for best Katrina-related coverage, and he has produced many segments for Al-Jazeera, TeleSur and Democracy Now.
