Hurricane Andrew: Ethnicity, Gender and the Sociology of DisastersWalter Gillis Peacock, Hugh Gladwin Routledge, 2012 M11 12 - 304 pages This book explores how social, economic and political factors set the stage for Hurricane Andrew by influencing who was prepared, who was hit the hardest, and who was most likely to recover.
