Debates over science, facts, and values are pivotal in the struggle
for environmental justice. For decades, environmental justice
activists have campaigned against the misuse of science, engaging
in community-led citizen science that champions knowledge produced
by and for ordinary people living with environmental risks and
hazards. However, post-truth politics have threatened science
itself. Toxic truths examines the relationship between
environmental justice and citizen science, focusing on enduring
issues and new challenges in a post-truth age. The volume features
a range of community-based participatory environmental health and
justice research projects that seek to establish different ways of
sensing, witnessing, and interpreting environmental injustice. From
struggles in American hog country and contaminated indigenous
communities, to local environmental controversies in Spain and
China, this volume examines political strategies for seeking
environmental justice. With international, interdisciplinary
contributions from distinguished authors, emerging scholars and
community activists, Toxic truths is essential reading for those
seeking to understand the cutting edge of citizen science and
activism around the world. -- .
