Exploring Gender in Pre- and Post-Katrina New Orleans
Re-visioning Katrina: Exploring Gender in pre- and post-Katrina New Orleans Chelsea Atkins Skelley Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In English Steven G. Salaita, chair Gena E. Chandler Katrina M. Powell April 26, 2011 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: gender, New Orleans, Hurricane Katrina, Jezebel, gothic, black female body Re-visioning Katrina: Exploring Gender in pre- and post-Katrina New Orleans Chelsea Atkins Skelley ABSTRACT I argue that to understand the gender dynamics of New Orleans, Hurricane Katrina, and the storm’s aftermath, one must interrogate the cultural conflation of the black female body and the city’s legacy to explore what it means and how it situates real black women in social, cultural, and physical landscapes. Using a hybrid theoretical framework informed by Black feminist theory, ecocriticism, critical race feminism, and post- positivist realism, I explore the connections between New Orleans’ cultural and historical discourses that gender the city as feminine, more specifically as a black woman or Jezebel, with narratives of real black females to illustrate the impact that dominant discourses have on people’s lives. I ground this work in Black feminism, specifically Hortense Spillers’s and Patricia Hill Collins’s works that center the black female body to garner a fuller understanding of social systems, Kimberlé Crenshaw’s concept of intersectionality, and Evelyn Hammonds’s call for a reclamation of the body to interrogate the ideologies that inscribe black women. In addition, I argue that black women should reclaim New Orleans’ metaphorical black body and interrogate this history to move forward in rebuilding the city. -

William Frantz Public School: One School, One Century, Many Stories Connie Lynn Schaffer University of Nebraska at Omaha [email protected] Corine Meredith Brown Rowan University [email protected] Meg White Stockton University [email protected] Martha Graham Viator Rowan University [email protected] Abstract William Frantz Public School (WFPS) in New Orleans, Louisiana, played a significant role in the story of desegregation in public K-12 education in the United States. This story began in 1960 when first-grader, Ruby Bridges, surrounded by federal marshals, climbed the steps to enroll as the school’s first Black student. Yet many subsequent stories unfolded within WFPS and offer an opportunity to force an often-resisted discussion regarding systemic questions facing present-day United States public education—racial integration, accountability, and increasing support for charter schools. In this article, the story is told first in the context of WFPS and then is connected to parallels found in schools in New Orleans as well as other urban areas in the United States. Introduction Stories from American history are taught in thousands of public schools every year, but at times a school is a history lesson and a story in itself. Such is the case of William Frantz Public School (WFPS), an elementary school in the Upper Ninth Ward of New Orleans. The nearly century- long story of WFPS includes a very distinct chapter captured in American history textbooks, the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. However, WFPS epitomizes many contemporary lesser- known stories within public schools in the United States, stories which deeply challenge the vision of Horace Mann, the noted patriarch of American public education. -
How New Orleans Criminalizes Women, Girls, Youth and LGBTQ & Latinx People 2 PREPARED BY
How New Orleans Criminalizes Women, Girls, Youth and LGBTQ & Latinx People 2 PREPARED BY TAKEMA ROBINSON ANNETTE HOLLOWELL AUDREY STEWART CARYN BLAIR CHALLENGING CRIMINALIZATION: HOW NEW ORLEANS CRIMINALIZES WOMEN, GIRLS, YOUTH AND LGBTQ & LATINX PEOPLE New Orleans has been labeled “ground zero” for criminal justice reform in America in a nod to the city’s history of overreliance on incarceration as well as recent successes in the long battle for criminal justice reform. Following decades of organizing and advocacy, reform of the city’s police and jails has taken root in the form of federal monitoring and oversight of the jail and police department and in drastic reduction of the daily jail population from 6,000 in 2005 to less than 1,800 in July 2015.1 Responding to the concerted efforts of grassroots organizations—including Voice of The Experienced (VOTE),* Youth BreakOUT!, Women With A Vision (WWAV), Orleans Parish Prison Reform Coalition (OPPRC) and national allies like the Vera Institute and the MacArthur Foundation—Mayor Mitch Landrieu’s administration has made criminal justice reform a central priority over the past six years. However, despite these considerable strides, New Orleans remains a national and world leader in systemic criminalization and incarceration of its citizens. New Orleans is Louisiana’s largest city and This study centers the voices and experiences also the city with the largest incarceration of youth, women, girls, Latinxs and LGBTQ rate. In a state that incarcerates more citizens people who face particular injustices due per capita than anywhere else in the world, to intersecting and interlocking systems New Orleans ranks at the top of the list, of white supremacy and patriarchy as they with approximately 90 percent of those are shuttled into and through New Orleans’ incarcerated being Black.2 And although criminal justice system.
