Toxic Struggles: The Theory and Practice of Environmental Justice

In local communities across the country, people of color, the poor, women, migrant farm workers, and industrial workers are joining forces with civil rights, peace and local community activists to challenge corporate polluters. These grassroots organizations are reshaping the environmental movement by forcing it to incorporate social justice issues such as racism, class, gender, antimilitarism, and poverty. Toxic Struggles forcefully documents this fast-growing environmental justice movement led by the people who suffer most from corporate ecological devastation.
