Language: English Table of ContentsReviewsSmith's excellent essays, while not intended to offer a thorough treatment of Camille, represent an important contribution to the growing field of southern environmental history and promise to invigorate scholarly discussions about the cultural meanings of natural disasters in the South.--Mark D. Hersey Journal of Southern History <p> In the post-Katrina era, the Category Five Hurricane Camille, which devastated the Mississippi Gulf Coast in 1969, is often forgotten. Mark Smith's Camille, 1969 provides a fresh perspective on Hurricane Camille by examining not only the human dimensions of the disaster but also the racial and political contexts that shaped both the immediate impact of the storm and the long recovery that followed. --Charles C. Bolton, author of The Hardest Deal of All: The Battle over School Integration in Mississippi, 1870-1980 <p> A stunning, eloquent book that reveals the sheer destructive power of nature. In Camille, 1969 , Mark Smith carries us into the eye of the storm and helps us understand how Camille, Katrina, and other hurricanes that will surely follow will forever change our life on this planet. --William Ferris, author of Give My Poor Heart Ease: Voices of the Mississippi Blues Smith's excellent essays, while not intended to offer a thorough treatment of Camille, represent an important contribution to the growing field of southern environmental history and promise to invigorate scholarly discussions about the cultural meanings of natural disasters in the South. --Mark D.
