As marcas do Katrina
ler aqui
«In late August of 2005, Hurricane Katrina ripped through the U.S. Gulf
Coast region causing a subsequent cycle of evacuation, relocation, and
rebuilding. The storm exposed in its wake vast racial and class
differences in how the hurricane and its aftermath affected individual
citizens. Using two public opinion polls conducted immediately after
Katrina, the authors demonstrate that African Americans in this country
were much more likely than Whites to experience feelings of anger and
depression in response to the events surrounding the hurricane. They
also show that these feelings of anger and depression held by African
Americans are respectively explained by their perception of racial
discrimination by the federal government and complacency on the part of
President Bush in response to Katrina. These results provide additional
support for the idea that African Americans have a racially
group-centric view of society that powerfully shapes how they respond to
political events.»
