Synopsis

What Fresh Hell? brings together ten years of reporting and commentary on war and peace, infrastructure, the coastal and global environment besieged by climate change, and politics and society in the Obama and Bush-Cheney years. The New Orleans–dedicated, New York–based blog Levees Not War was founded in 2005 after Hurricane Katrina. This collection serves up liberal portions of sharp, spirited writing and interviews with experts like Ivor van Heerden, tributes to activists and civil rights leaders such as Tom Hayden and Medgar Evers, and on-the-ground reporting from Occupy Wall Street (2011) while marching with nurses, teachers, and transit workers. “This is not the fringe. This is the middle class.”
