Abstract

This issue features an exchange among scholars about New Orleans and the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. I thank Barry Wellman for getting this effort started, but I especially want to thank the three people who offer their observations—Xavier de Souza Briggs, Susan Greenbaum, and Sudhir Venkatesh. They engaged in correspondence and shared reflections over the Internet, providing not only their own special views of how to deal with the aftermath but also responses to one another. I hope that this exchange over a matter of deep importance to urban scholars is only the first of several that we can publish in the next few years. I also hope that those of you who have wrestled with this matter yourselves will take this opportunity to write to us with your reactions. For some odd reason we have yet to receive a regular flow of letters to the Journal in response to our articles and book reviews. Please do take this opportunity to write back and share your own views with us. Besides the commentaries and reflections, John R.
