ABSTRACT Race matters in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. For centuries racial inequality has divided the city into two separate cities. In the summer of 2016, Baton Rouge experienced a series of events that heightened racial division. First was the killing of an unarmed black man, Alton Sterling, by two white police officers as he sold CDs outside of a local convenience store. Second was the shooting of three law enforcement officers and wounding of a fourth officer by a black ex-military shooter. By the time a massive flood took 13 lives and wiped out billions of dollars of property almost a month later, racial tensions were at an all-time high. Using Baton Rouge as a case study, this paper provides context for peeling back the layers of racial discord that have plagued the city for centuries.

在地狱之夏幸存:路易斯安那州巴吞鲁日、种族两极分化以及对社区康复的影响

摘要 路易斯安那州巴吞鲁日的种族问题很重要。几个世纪以来,种族不平等将这座城市分为两个独立的城市。2016 年夏天,巴吞鲁日经历了一系列加剧种族分裂的事件。首先是一名手无寸铁的黑人奥尔顿·斯特林 (Alton Sterling) 在当地一家便利店外卖 CD 时被两名白人警察杀害。其次是一名黑人退役军人射杀三名执法人员,打伤一名第四警官。大约一个月后,一场大洪水夺走了 13 条生命并摧毁了数十亿美元的财产,种族紧张局势达到了历史最高水平。本文以巴吞鲁日为例,为揭开困扰这座城市数百年的种族纷争层级提供了背景。
