Abstract: "Had Katrina not happened, eminent cultural critic Giroux would have been able to write this book anyway, which is not to dismiss his analysis and message. He turns to the Katrina debacle as confirmation of what he sees as a dangerous strengthening of antidemocratic forces threatening U.S. freedoms."--Library Journal.
