Dumping in Dixie: Race, Class, and Environmental Quality, Third Edition
ISBN: 9780813367927 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. To be poor, working-class, or a person of color in the United States often means bearing a disproportionate share of the country's environmental problems. Starting with the premise that all Americans have a basic right to live in a healthy environment, Dumping in Dixie chronicles the efforts of five African American communities, empowered by the civil rights movement, to link environmentalism with issues of social justice. In the third edition, Bullard speaks to us from the front lines of the environmental justice movement about new developments in environmental racism, different...

Growing Smarter: Achieving Livable Communities, Environmental Justice, and Regional Equity
ISBN: 9780262524704 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The smart growth movement aims to combat urban and suburban sprawl by promoting livable communities based on pedestrian scale, diverse populations, and mixed land use. But, as this book documents, smart growth has largely failed to address issues of social equity and environmental justice. Smart growth sometimes results in gentrification and displacement of low- and moderate-income families in existing neighborhoods, or transportation policies that isolate low-income populations. Growing Smarter is one of the few books to view smart growth from an environmental justice perspective,...
