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. The essays explore the justice of current
environmental practices, asking such questions as whether
cost-benefit analysis is an appropriate analytic technique and
whether there are alternate routes to sustainable development in
the South.
