News at Eleven: E. Ethelbert Miller: Migration is an important

theme in African American literature. Do you see Katrina being written about many years from now?

Kalamu ya Salaam: Hopefully, Katrina will be understood as part of a larger issue of urban development in the 21st century. I'm not sure that Katrina will be a major issue because I foresee momentous changes in front of us in the aftermath of the Iraq debacle, larger environmental issues, and the shifting geo-political system that sees the rise to singular dominance of China.
