A Hazy Horizon for New Orleans Public Housing; Few Have Returned to the Iberville Projects, and Six Others Remain Closed A Hazy Horizon for New Orleans Public Housing; Few have returned to the Iberville projects, and six others remain closed. As the city rebuilds, some fear the black poor are being left out. Los Angeles Times April 21, 2006 By Richard Fausset NEW ORLEANS Wilbert Foucha sat on a stoop in the dead-quiet Iberville housing projects and watched as two rats scurried under a neighbor's front door. He shrugged his shoulders and chuckled. "It's them human rats that we worried about," he said. Foucha, 67, was talking about the drug dealers and toughs who had made the Iberville a notoriously dangerous place before Hurricane Katrina. Now many of them are gone. But Foucha's joke revealed only a sliver of his complex feelings about the Iberville projects, a weathered maze of brick buildings near the French Quarter that has been his home for more than a decade. Today, no one is sure what the future will hold for most of the city's 10 major housing projects. Six of them remain shuttered, whereas others, such as the Iberville, are being fixed up in stages. When the levees broke, the Iberville's grass and dirt courtyards filled with 3 feet of water, and nearly all of its residents scattered to outlying parishes and states. Foucha pointed out that it wasn't just the drug dealers who left, but the law-abiding people as well -- the restaurant workers and the schoolchildren and their mothers, who normally would have been out here yelling after them on a Thursday morning. Foucha, like most pre-Katrina residents of the Iberville, is black, and he wants his black neighbors back. But he is frustrated that the Housing Authority of New Orleans, which manages the city's public housing developments, is allowing Iberville residents to return only in a slow trickle as buildings are repaired and cleaned of mold. So far, 187 of its approximately 600 pre-Katrina families have returned. For Foucha, it is another troubling indicator that new plans are being made for the city without its African American poor. "When they fix New Orleans up, you ain't going to see too many black people living around here," he said. "They going to be pushed out." Long before Katrina, Iberville and its sister projects were hulking totems to two of New Orleans' defining concerns: the fear of crime and the fear that the destitute would be pushed out in the name of community revitalization. A few years ago in the lower Garden District, the St. Thomas housing project -- one of the city's most dangerous and blighted -- was torn down and replaced with new housing that mixed tenants who paid subsidized and market-rate rents. Though some cheered the move, others saw it as a way to muscle out the poor in a neighborhood that was planning for a new Wal-Mart. Adonis Expose, a spokesman for the Housing Authority, said the agency remained committed to housing poor residents who lived in the city before the flood. But many specific plans for the shuttered projects are on hold as officials make larger decisions about which parts of New Orleans to redevelop. But Katrina has increased calls to rethink the status quo. City Council President Oliver M. Thomas Jr., who is black, recently said that only people who wanted to work should be allowed to return to the projects. In an interview with the New Orleans Times-Picayune, mayoral candidate Peggy Wilson, who is white, called the projects "poverty beds, drug beds and crime beds" and called for fresher approaches to housing the poor. The Iberville projects have posed a particularly vexing problem for New Orleans. The New Deal-era buildings were constructed on the former site of Storyville, the red-light district that helped New Orleans earn a reputation for jazz and licentious good times. These days, the French Quarter endures in that role, but the Iberville existed on its northwestern lank as a threat to the tourist business that was increasingly important to the city's economy. New Orleans Police Officer Desmond Pratt, who has walked the courtyards of the Iberville for years, said tourists regularly wandered across Basin Street into the projects and were often assaulted. Others were led there by residents and robbed. Crime also spilled out into the Quarter. Residents also preyed on their neighbors. In some cases, Pratt said, innocents did not cooperate with police. That was often because the Iberville was webbed with multiple generations of extended families -- and people were wary to inform on, say, a wayward cousin. Pratt and his colleagues said they were working hard before Katrina to rid he Iberville of crime. In the last few years, they set up a hot line for anonymous tipsters, and football and karate programs for children. And yet, before Katrina hit Aug. 29, the Iberville was still an extremely dangerous place. Police Capt. Louis Colin said there were five murders in the projects in 2005. There has been one murder case this year, and some residents aren't sure whether things are going to get better. Trenice Jones, 36, pointed to rows of apartments abandoned by Katrina evacuees that she said were now occupied by troublemaking squatters living off the grid. There is still too much crime for the few residents who are back, she said. "And the ones that's doing it is staying in those vacant apartments. "Pratt said the police were aware of the problem and were working with housing officials to solve it. A small group of local business owners on the edge of the French Quarter are working on a plan they call "Iberville Rebirth," a public-private partnership that would extensively renovate the existing buildings and open them up to some market-rate housing. One proponent of the idea is Michael Valentino, who is opening a private cultural and welcome center in a former train depot on nearby Basin Street. Under the plan, he said, former Iberville residents would be welcome back. He figures that only half of the original residents will want to return -- which means that no one will be displaced by the new market-rate housing. "Iberville is in a critical location, at the cultural and business core of the city," he said. "We are trying to craft a responsible redevelopment plan for Iberville ... so it can be a viable, vibrant and safe neighborhood." Valentino said that he had met with a small group of residents, and that most in the project hadn't heard about it Thursday. But they passed along strange rumors. Foucha said he heard that Donald Trump wanted to buy the place. "I'd like to see things be better than they were, and people live happily ever after," Foucha said -- as long as he could guarantee that he would be one of those people. .

But it currently holds fast in media images, memories, and popular imagination as a time of levee failures, a time of flooding. However, post-Katrina New Orleans saw many other floods, equally powerful and disruptive: the Diaspora of thousands of families and communities forcibly scattered to all areas of the country; the onrush of media, developers, military and police, and corporate contractors, all intent on pursuing further profit and increasing oppression; the influx of volunteers, manual laborers, relief organizations, and humanitarian aid workers, guided by the desire to help with the rebuilding of a city. Most all of us in the Anti-Racist Working Group (hereinafter the ARWG) entered New Orleans as a part of this latter flood, specifically through the vehicle of Common Ground, one of many relief organizations that started up immediately after the levees broke.

Expectations of high economic yield and employment have been the main measures of their success or failure. However, in New Orleans, Black entrepreneurship has yielded spirits of social impact and self-determination. This thesis hypothesizes that Black business success requires more than economic viability to be considered valuable by the entrepreneurs themselves, aiming to contribute to the social and cultural atmosphere.

It analyzes how music intersects with geography and how the musical experiences of New Orleanians bring meaning to the built form. It examines the role of the agent in the social construction of space, and how people use music as a spatial enabler in New Orleans. It proposes that music enables people to socially construct space because it accesses the nexus of memory and emotion, operates in a greater cultural context, and is a useful tool for variable expression. In order to present varied experiences with the musical construction of space, this dissertation approaches its subject through four case studies: place attachment through the “second line” parading tradition and North Claiborne Avenue, the fixing of memories in space at the Ernie K-Doe Mother-in-Law Lounge, the negotiation of public space through musical performances in various contexts, and the creation and growth of a music community in the New Orleans Habitat Musicians’ Village.

  • Streets of New Orleans
    Streets of New Orleans Described by geographer Pierce Lewis as the “inevitable city” in the “impossible site”, New Orleans (French: La Nouvelle-Orléans) is a major United States port and the largest city and metropolitan area in the state of Louisiana. The city is named after Philippe II, Duc d'Orléans, Regent of France (brother of King Louis XIV), and is well known for its distinct French architecture as well as its cross cultural and multilingual heritage. New Orleans is also famous for its cuisine, music (particularly as the birthplace of jazz) and its annual celebrations including Mardi Gras and the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival (commonly referred to as Jazzfest). Esplanade Ave: The original meaning of esplanade was a large, open, level area outside fortress or city walls to provide clear fields of fire for the fortress against incoming infantry or artillery. Esplanade Ave eventually became a place for elegant promenade and was the center of New Orleans‟ Creole community with luxurious homes and a thoroughbred racetrack [Sometimes referred to as the "New Orleans Fair Grounds", the track was initially opened as the "Union Race Course" in 1852. The track closed in 1857 due to competition from the Metairie Course. In 1859 the track was renamed the "Creole Race Course." In 1863, the name was changed again to the "Fair Grounds".] Refugees from the Haitian Revolution substantially bolstered New Orleans‟ African and Creole population in the early nineteenth century reinforcing African traditions in the city and leading to the nation‟s largest population of Free People of Color prior to the American Civil War.

I argue that lead poisoning in the city is not an anomaly, but rather an example of the state-sanctioned environmental racism that is foundational to the economic, political, and social functioning of Louisiana. In this project I draw together definitions of environmental racism; histories of social and environmental degradation in the state; accounts of grassroots activists fighting for their communities; research on the causes of lead poisoning and the subsequent health impacts; and statistics on soil and blood lead in New Orleans.

  • Culture Après Le Déluge: Heritage Ecology After Disaster
    Culture Après le Déluge: Heritage Ecology after Disaster Benjamin Alan Morris Clare Hall 20 April 2010 & 20 July 2010 Department of Archaeology University of Cambridge This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Declaration This dissertation is the result of my own work and includes nothing which is the outcome of work done in collaboration except where specifically indicated in the text. It does not exceed the required word limit of 80,000 words specified by the Department of Archaeology. -2- Summary This PhD dissertation examines the relationships between cultural heritage and the environment, focusing specifically on the devastation and rebuilding of New Orleans, Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Departing from conventional approaches to the natural world (such as documentation- and conservation-based approaches), this thesis adopts a developmental-systems based approach to cultural heritage in order to construct a new way of interpreting it, within the specific context of natural disaster. This new approach, termed ‘heritage ecology’, reinterprets cultural heritage in two ways: first, as a physical assemblage of sites, materials, traditions, beliefs, and practices that are constructed in significant ways by their natural environments; and second, as a metaphorical ecosystem which impacts back on the assessment and construction of that natural environment in turn. In order to construct this approach, the thesis poses three interrelated questions: how is cultural heritage transformed as a result of disaster, how do societies rebuild their heritage after disaster, and how does heritage contribute to the rebuilding process? Examining a rebuilding process in real-time provides a unique window on these processes; events and developments in New Orleans taken from the first four years of recovery (2005-2009) suggest that prior understandings of how societies rebuild themselves after disaster have neglected crucial aspects of cultural heritage that are integral to that process.
