Title: The Perfect Storm: A Systemic Analysis of the Apologetic Rhetoric of Hurricane Katrina
Author: Abate, Brianna Lynne
Description: This thesis analyzes the rhetoric of President George W. Bush, Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco, and New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Using the rhetorical methodology of apologia, six specific artifacts of federal, state, and city/local governments are examined. Analysis suggests implications for the three levels of government, the study of apologia, as well as future study of natural disaster rhetoric.
