After a cascade of failures left residents of Flint, Michigan,
without a reliable and affordable supply of safe drinking water,
citizens spent years demanding action from their city and state
officials. Complaints from the city's predominantly African
American residents were ignored until independent researchers
confirmed dangerously elevated blood lead levels among Flint
children and in the city's tap water. Despite a 2017 federal court
ruling in favor of Flint residents who had demanded mitigation,
such efforts have been incomplete at best. Assessing the challenges
that community groups faced in their attempts to advocate for
improved living conditions, Tainted Tap offers a rich analysis of
conditions and constraints that created the Flint water crisis.
Katrinell Davis contextualizes the crisis in Flint's long and
troubled history of delivering essential services, the consequences
of regional water-management politics, and other forms of systemic
neglect that impacted the working-class community's health and
well-being. Using ethnographic and empirical evidence from a range
of sources, Davis also sheds light on the forms of community action
that have brought needed changes to this underserved community.
