Walking to New Orleans: ethics and the concept..

---

''In Walking to New Orleans Robert and Deanne Ross have written an important book about the tragic conditions in New Orleans. Or, we really should say, the New Orleans tragedy--for the symbolic importance of what happened and what did not happen there will doubtless stand on its own for years to come as a symbol of what can only be described as a national loss of the sense of community. For not only did New Orleans lose itself, but all of the rest of us lost New Orleans. We lost it by reading and not thinking, by watching and not seeing, by knowing and not acting. By not really caring enough about our fellow citizens, friends, and neighbors. This is quite a beautiful book in its conception, expression, and deep valuing of human beings and their communities. And it raises important questions about who we are and what we have become as Americans in the twenty-first century.''
