Unfathomable City is a book to cherish-and sure to be a classic. -Jason Berry, New Orleans-based journalist and coauthor of Up from the Cradle of Jazz: New Orleans Music since World War II Race, space, and place: this atlas is a people's ecology of persistent resistance, an open-ended historical geography guiding toward an indomitable future-a permanent revolution no less likely than the city itself.
