Summary
The seventeen oral histories collected here are stories of surviving the storm and its long aftermath as people waited for relief and aid that rarely arrived. The book offers a multivocal peoples' history of disaster that fosters a greater understanding of the failures of governmental disaster response and the correlating perseverance of the people impacted by these failures, highlighting the colonial relationship between Puerto Rico and the United States. -- Provided by publisher
