other books have focused on environmental injustice in the U.S.
South, no single volume has examined such issues and problems in
Florida at the metropolitan scale. This book is a compilation of
original empirical research on the nexus between the environmental
and social inequalities in Tampa Bay, Florida's fastest growing
metropolitan area. Systematic research about spatial and
environmental justice are largely absent from the rich
historiography of Florida, especially the Tampa Bay metropolitan
area of southwest Florida. Recent empirical evidence suggests that
environmental justice is a real and emergent problem within Tampa
Bay afflicting many deprived communities and socially excluded
groups. Moreover, certain communities are not only unevenly exposed
to environmental risks, but are also disproportionately vulnerable
to their many adverse health effects. Our book thus fills a
critical need to explore both the causes and consequences of
environmental injustice in Tampa Bay. This book combines the latest
theoretical insights on spatial and environmental justice with
empirical case studies which examine racial/ethnic and
socioeconomic inequities associated with various undesirable land
uses and pollution sources in Hillsborough County, Tampa Bay's
largest population and economic center. The book offers a
progressive approach to a more long-term, comprehensive examination
of a rapidly emerging field of study that provides academic
scholars and decision-makers with new perspectives on a variety of
environmental and social challenges confronting metropolitan
Florida in the 21st century. It could offer guidance to
metropolitan policy makers and planners, especially public health
professionals, social welfare providers, infrastructure developers,
emergency responders, and community activists. For this reason,
this book should also be of interest to business associations,
environmental groups, and members of the general public.
The Routledge Handbook of Environmental Justice presents an
extensive and cutting-edge introduction to the diverse, rapidly
growing body of research on pressing issues of environmental
justice and injustice. With wide-ranging discussion of current
debates, controversies, and questions in the history, theory, and
methods of environmental justice research, contributed by over 90
leading social scientists, natural scientists, humanists, and
scholars from professional disciplines from six continents, it is
an essential resource both for newcomers to this research and for
experienced scholars and practitioners. The chapters of this volume
examine the roots of environmental justice activism, lay out and
assess key theories and approaches, and consider the many different
substantive issues that have been the subject of activism,
empirical research, and policy development throughout the world.
The Handbook features critical reviews of quantitative,
qualitative, and mixed methodological approaches and explicitly
addresses interdisciplinarity, transdisciplinarity, and engaged
research. Instead of adopting a narrow regional focus, it tackles
substantive issues and presents perspectives from political and
cultural systems across the world, as well as addressing activism
for environmental justice at the global scale. Its chapters do not
simply review the state of the art, but also propose new conceptual
frameworks and directions for research, policy, and practice.
Providing detailed but accessible overviews of the complex, varied
dimensions of environmental justice and injustice, the Handbook is
an essential guide and reference not only for researchers engaged
with environmental justice, but also for undergraduate and graduate
teaching and for policymakers and activists.
