Ain’t There No More examines the lives and environmental knowledge of families in Louisiana’s coastal wetlands as their communities confront land loss.
The authors trace how changes to the Mississippi River after the 1927 flood, erosion, subsidence, rising seas, and decades of policy decisions have reshaped the coast. Drawing on residents’ experience and rare, previously unpublished images, the book documents a disappearing way of life and considers what other coastal communities can learn from it.
