[and] provides a compelling cultural mirror of environmental injustice from which we cannot turn away. -- Shari Collins-Chobanian, University of Arizona, West * Environmental Ethics * Within the context of civil rights, the book clearly illustrates the role of environmental health and justice. * CHOICE *
Reseña del editor
Racial minorities in the United States are disproportionately exposed to toxic wastes and other environmental hazards, and cleanup efforts in their communities are slower and less thorough than efforts elsewhere. Internationally, wealthy countries of the North increasingly ship hazardous wastes to poorer countries of the South, resulting in such tragedies as the disaster at Bhopal. Through case studies that highlight the type of information that is seldom reported in the news, Faces of Environmental Racism exposes the type and magnitude of environmental racism, both domestic and international.
