Capitalizing on Environmental Injustice provides a comprehensive
overview of the achievements and challenges confronting the
environmental justice movement. Pressured by increased
international competition and the demand for higher profits,
industrial and political leaders are working to weaken many of
America's most essential environmental, occupational, and consumer
protection laws. In addition, corporate-led globalization exports
many ecological hazards abroad. The result is a deepening of the
ecological crisis in both the United States and the Global South.
However, not all people are impacted equally. In this process of
capital restructuring, it is the most marginalized segments of
society -poor people of color and the working class-that suffer the
greatest force of corporate environmental abuses. Daniel Faber, a
leading environmental sociologist, analyzes the global political
and economic forces that create these environmental injustices.
With a multi-disciplinary approach, Faber presents both broad
overviews and powerful insider case studies, examining the
connections between many different struggles for change.
Capitalizing on Environmental Injustice explores compelling
movements to challenge the polluter-industrial complex and bring
about meaningful social transformation.
