The Campo Indian Landfill War
ISBN: 9780806140957 / Angielski / Miękka / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In The Campo Indian Landfill War, Dan McGovern explores the timely and controversial topic of "environmental justice" through the story of an Indian tribe's struggle to develop its isolated and impoverished reservation by building a commercial garbage facility to serve the cities of Southern California. The environmental justice movement was born out of the conviction that the waste industry has targeted minority communities for facilities it can no longer locate in the backyards of those with greater access to political power. The Campo case is thus an anomaly: the tribe... In The Campo Indian Landfill War, Dan McGovern explores the timely and controversial topic of "environmental justice" through the story of... |

Since the end of World War II, Navajo healing traditions have slowly been integrated into the Western medical institutions that serve the Dine. The history of Western medical care on Navajo reservations in the twentieth century, however, demonstrates that the incorporation of indigenous healing practices did not come without struggle. The advent of American mass culture, urbanization, and other forces made it difficult for young Dine to learn and preserve the old ways. At the same time, non-Native medical providers, missionaries, and U. S. government officials sometimes hindered the effort of...
