Hurricane Season

Viac o knihe

The images in Hurricane Season are taken in the southern part of the federal state Louisiana in the United States. In this peculiar landscape live millions of Americas poorest citizens. It is as if nature itself indicates the level of segregation the lower the country level is, the greater the proportion of black and poor. Every year these areas are flooded by the summer and autumn storms that trikes Louisiana. When these storms develop into major hurricanes the poorest and most low-lying parts suffer the hardest. Floods are a natural part of life and the inhabitants have in a fatalistic way adapted to the frequency of the hurricanes.
