Disaster capitalism, as a theory of patterned change, also struggles to account for the continuities between pre- and post-flood political economic arrangements. Just as the idea of disaster can reify the idea of a stable status quo ante, the concept of disaster capitalism—a sudden turn toward capitalist
practice, yoked to state power—can imply an antediluvian before, when government operated as a benevolent social welfare apparatus beyond the reach
of the market. No such situation ever existed in the United States, let alone
in New Orleans. Capitalism did not blow into the city with the storm. Ever since European colonists dispossessed indigenous people of their homeland,
financed their exploits with a currency speculation scheme known as the
“Mississippi Bubble,” and brought enslaved Africans by ship and coffle to
labor in their fields, factories, and bedrooms, capitalism—in its historically
contingent, racialized, and gendered formations—has influenced who lived
in Louisiana, and where. It is therefore difficult to identify a sudden shift in
the behavior of the city clerks who went busily about lowering damage estimates in order to restore the sprawling shape of the city as it had stood in
2005. They were engaged in a venerable process when they worked to speed
some people’s way home. There were continuities, too, in how government
action ultimately slowed, or stopped, the way home for others.
想请问一下该如何翻译上面一段，谢谢
