Modeling authority over a drowning coast
As sea-level rise inundates the last vestiges of Louisiana’s “Working Coast” and protective wetlands, the state is embarking on controversial plans to redirect Mississippi River sediment into its degraded marshes. But in order to manipulate the Mighty Mississippi, state planners must not only marshal a proverbial army of resources, but somehow demonstrate the necessary expertise to do so. Here, I examine one such site of demonstration: the Lower …

Muddy foil
This article considers Mississippi River Mud as an analytic for unruly ontologies and fugitive spaces. Historic discourses around mud—and by extension, muddy spaces—were mapped onto lawless, not-fully-humans who occupied them.

This episteme, which reduces complex ecologies to agents of capital extraction, has transf…

This article investigates media coverage of 19th and early 20th century river activism and its effect on federal policy to control the Mississippi River. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ “levees-only” policy—which joined disparate navigation and flood control interests—is largely blamed for the Great Flood of 1927, called the largest peacetime disaster in American history. River activists organized annual conventions, and later, professional lob…
Push It Along
Perhaps the most demonized group following the uprising that occurred after the death of Freddie Gray in Baltimore were the youth of the city. As ethnographers working in the same neighborhoods where the Baltimore Uprising took place, we debated the representations we would make, cognizant that, in an atmosphere of both overt and covert racism, any representation we produced would be subject to political appropriation from the same mass media we …
