Description

Racial minorities in the US are disproportionatly exposed to toxic wastes and other enviromental hazards, and clean-up 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, this study exposes the type and magnitude of environmental racism, both domestic and international. The essays explore the justice of environmental practices, asking such questions as whether cost-benefit analysis is an appropriate technique and whether there are alternative routes to sustainable development in the south.
