| Abstract: | " In 1953, the U.S. Weather Bureau adopted female names to identify hurricanes and other tropical storms. Within two years, that convention came into question, and by 1978 a new system was introduced, including alternating male and female names in a pattern that continues today. Liz Skilton's innovative study, Tempest: Hurricane Naming and American Culture, explores the interplay between naming practice and wider American culture, blending gender studies with environmental history to analyze this often controversial tradition. Focusing on the Gulf South-the nation’s "hurricane coast"-Skilton closely examines select storms, including Betsy, Camille, Andrew, Katrina, and Harvey, while referencing dozens of others. Using print and online media sources, government reports, scientific data, and ephemera, she reveals how language and images portray hurricanes as gendered objects. Further, as she chronicles the evolution of gendered storm naming in the United States, Skilton delves into many other aspects of hurricane history."--Back cover |
