Editorial Reviews
From the Inside Flap
ancer Alley," a strip along the Mississippi River, to Triana, Alabama, known as the unhealthiest town in America, to Native American reservations, an insidious form of racism has spread across the country. Unequal Protection: Environmental Justice & Communities of Color offers compelling evidence that pollution disproportionately impacts communities of color, subjecting citizens to toxic insults of the deadliest kind. Collecting the work of local activists, journalists, and educators, this volume is edited by Dr. Robert Bullard, one of the leaders in the nationwide fight for environmental justice.
"Unequal Protection must be applauded for the breadth and diversity with which it has surveyed the phenomenon of environmental racism."--San Francisco Chronicle

This book was written many years ago, but the concept of environmental racism still applies to different communities of color today. Flint is a perfect example of how Bullard's concept still applies today. Of course, there are more current readings related to environmental racism (ie. Lead Wars, Life Without Lead, What the Eyes Don't See...). Overall, a good and important read.

This guy knows what he is writing about. The book is wonderful and enlightening. If you are interested in the environment or inequality, read this book. I even met him in person and attended a seminar he did on Environmental Justice at a training...talk about something that blows your hair back! READ THIS BOOK.
