When Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans, the world reacted with shock on seeing residents of this distinctive city left abandoned to the floodwaters. After the last rescue was completed, a new worry arosethat New Orleanss unique historic fabric sat in ruins, and we had lost one of the most charming old cities of the New World.In Patina, anthropologist Shannon Lee Dawdy examines what was lost and found through the destruction of Hurricane Katrina. Tracking the rich history and unique physicality of New Orleans, she explains how it came to adopt the nickname the antique city. With innovative applications of thing theory, Patina studies the influence of specific itemssuch as souvenirs, heirlooms, and Hurricane Katrina ruinsto explore how the citys residents use material objects to comprehend time, history, and their connection to one another. A leading figure in archaeology of the contemporary, Dawdy draws on material evidence, archival and literary texts, and dozens of postKatrina interviews to explore how the patina aesthetic informs a trenchant political critique. An intriguing study of the power of everyday objects, Patina demonstrates how sharing in the care of a historic landscape can unite a citys populationdespite extreme divisions of class and raceand inspire civil camaraderie based on a nostalgia that offers not a return to the past but an alternative future.
