This collection of essays documents the ways in which educational institutions and the arts community responded to the devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina. While firmly rooted in concrete projects, ""Civic Engagement in the Wake of Katrina"" also addresses the larger issues raised by committed public scholarship.
