Thanks! Praise for Katrina's Legacy \| Event Information \| How to Order \| Eric's Biography Praise for Katrina's Legacy : "Buy this book and study it well. Eric Mann was my first teacher in the black freedom movement; he taught me door-to-door canvassing and basic organizing. And then he introduced me to SNCC. Eric is still teaching and organizing a new generation, and setting the pace as we build up our strength for the Battle of New Orleans." Komozi Woodard, author of A Nation within a Nation: Amiri Baraka and Black Power Politics. "Katrina's Legacy stands with Black Nations 9/11 as the clearest strategic statement within the movement, a must read for anyone working in solidarity with the reconstruction movement in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast." Kali Akuno, People's Hurricane Relief Fund & Oversight Coalition "Mann's writing is a door. Our movement, and indeed, the very life of Black New Orleans, depends on our ability to fully comprehend and embrace the counter-hegemonic and long-term movement building demands that Mann describes." Xochitl Bervera, Families and Friends of Louisiana's Incarcerated Children "Excellent. Mann has a distinct talent for drawing political lessons from historical events. Every movement needs a map. Katrina's Legacy takes us to the ravaged Gulf Coast and shows us how to find the road toward a Third Reconstruction. America needs this movement, and Eric helps us find our way." Vijay Prashad, author of Everybody Was Kung Fu Fighting : Afro-Asian Connections and the Myth of Cultural Purity "Places the Gulf catastrophe in the historical context of racist capitalist rule in the U.S. at a critical time when the 'cracks in the ruling class levees' are visible for all to see. Mann provides political leadership, the outlines of a plan for action, and calls us to our battle stations." Glen Ford, Executive Editor and Co-Publisher, The Black Commentator "From the first days after Katrina struck New Orleans, Eric Mann has been a crucial ally to organizers on the ground. His Katrina's Legacy is vital for anyone looking for a deeper understanding of what happened in New Orleans, and what we can do about it." Jordan Flaherty, New Orleans Organizer; Editor, Left Turn Magazine "An inspiring call to action rooted in a powerful tradition of Black resistance in the South. It provides a comprehensive framework, a clear vision and strategy for this moment in history to build the movement among communities of color and low-wage workers."
