沿着卡特里娜飓风后的工作条件。它没有提供2005年飓风前的比较数据。灾难资本主义文学倾向于详细叙述向新自由主义政策框架的过渡，几乎没有给抵抗或基层变革留下空间。更新新奥尔良？通过包括许多工人组织起来对抗不断恶化的条件的叙述来避免这一点。然而，这些行动并没有带来实质性的变化，我希望更多地分析其影响。施耐德认为，全球化的精英阶层有这样的意图，例如，根据移民身份和种族来划分劳动力，但只有在极少数情况下，他才能提供证据来支持这一说法。这让读者想知道他们有多少权力，假设他们在工人已经被分割和脆弱的情况下为自己的利益行事。总的来说，新奥尔良？是一个有价值的贡献，解释如何全球化的精英谈判的地方机构，以及如何在卡特里娜飓风后的动荡时期创造了空间的转变。抵抗的案例是生动的，调查结果是鲜明的，创造了一个可读的和引人入胜的文本适合上师或研究生课程的城市政治和灾难恢复。鉴于灾害发生的频率增加和正在进行的新自由主义项目，这是一个重要的案例，可以深入了解发生了什么，尽管方式有限，但也指出了可以做些什么。
work along with work conditions after Katrina. It does not offer comparative data to conditions before the 2005 hurricanes. The disaster capitalism literature tends toward narratives that detail a transition to neoliberal policy frameworks that leave little room for resistance or grassroots change. Renew Orleans? avoids this by including many accounts of workers who organized against deteriorating conditions. However, these actions did not lead to substantial change, and I wanted more analysis about their effects. Schneider ascribes intent to the globally oriented elites—for example, to segment the workforce by immigration status and race—but only on rare occasions does he offer evidence to support this claim. This leaves the reader to wonder how much power they had, assuming that they acted in self-interest in a situation where workers were already segmented and vulnerable. Overall, Renew Orleans? is a valuable contribution to explain how globally oriented elites negotiated local institutions and how the period of turmoil after Katrina created space for a shift. The cases of resistance are vivid and the survey findings stark, creating a readable and engaging text appropriate for upper division or graduate courses on urban politics and disaster recovery. Given the increased frequency of disasters and the ongoing neoliberal project, this is an important case for insight into what happened that also points, albeit in limited ways, to what might be done.
