摘要
The centuries-old practice of the skull and bone gangs, a New Orleans African-American folkloric practice, has been taken up and reconstituted by white female artists, in particular in the post-Katrina work of Joy Gauss and Claudia "Mardi Claw" Gehrke. This essay explores the city's evolving culture, in changes that are both troubling and encouraging, that suggest new possibilities for a re-envisioned 21st-century New Orleans.
