"Read this in Sociology class at Grinnell. Had vague memories of it that came rushing back as I visited Logan County for the WV project. Was able to figure out what the book was called and reread it. Very interesting discussion of what happened to the folks (and why) who were "displaced" by the Buffalo Creek disaster. As if frequently the case, I found it much more interesting to read it by choice than because it was required"
"sociological non-fiction should all be this humane. My eyes were full much of the time I read this account of the Buffalo Creek flooding of '72. Erikson has his father's (Eric) sense of narrative and gift for situating big concepts and theory in affective prose."
