An unflinching look at Charleston, a beautiful, endangered port city, founded by English settlers in 1669 as a hub of the sugar and slave trades, which now, as the waters rise, stands at the intersection of climate and race. Unbeknownst to the tourists who visit the charming streets of the Charleston peninsula, rapidly rising sea levels and increasingly devastating storms are mere years away from rendering the city uninhabitable. Weaving science, narrative history, and the family stories of Black Charlestonians,Charleston: Race, Water, and the Coming Stormchronicles the tumultuous recent past in the life of the city - from protests to hurricanes - while illuminating the escalating riskiness of its future. Charleston's vulnerability is emblematic of vast portions of global coastlines that are likely to be chronically inundated in just a few decades. In Charleston, as in other global cities, little planning is underway to ensure a thriving future for all residents. Charleston,by Harvard Law School professor and author Susan Crawford, tells the story of a city that has played a central role in America's painful racial history for centuries. Foreword by Annette Gordon-Reed, Pulitzer Prize winning author of On Juneteenth.
