Editorial Reviews
Review
"The complicated history of environmental injustice depicted makes this worthy reading."
—Publishers Weekly
“An important read that can easily be incorporated in the classroom. Wilson shows the resilience of the human spirit, and through Tomi declaring a call to action while giving his report to prevent this from happening again, I sense the passion of Wilson and Shimojima in this book.”
—Near Mint Condition
“Super educational. A solid start to introduce this incident to those who don’t know about it.”
—Graphic Policy
