Abstract
The “unnatural disaster” of Hurricane Katrina is examined in the context of American structural racism. The Bush administration's lack of response in providing aid to the city of New Orleans and the public spectacle of Black anguish is a “civic ritual” that reconfirms the racial hierarchy of the United States. The denial by white America of the reality of Black suffering is essential to the preservation of white hegemony.
