- Description
- Mere months after residents of New Orleans were
left stranded on their roofs, before, even, all of the bodies were
to be found within the flood wreckage, Gray Line New Orleans
announced plans to begin bus tours of the wreckage caused by
Hurricane Katrina. Such tours have now multiplied, almost a dozen
companies offering bus or van tours of the death and destruction
that so many watched unfold on network television. This essay will
track the Katrina devastation tour through its various formations,
noting, especially, its changing status as a commodity throughout.
The commoditization of Katrina has not been a straight path towards
increasing commoditization, but has been alternately contested and
promoted as a commodity throughout its history.
