Environmental Inequalities: Class, Race and Industrial Pollution in Gary, Indiana, 1945-1980
This book is very interesting. Environmental history and social justice are two things that I am interested in. In Gary, three opposing forces: the middle-class, blue-collar laborers, and Blacks teamed up to fight for their rights with environmental movement as their avenue. This book exposes the fact that the state usually uses environmental movements to deflect class conflict and when that does not work and the oppressed unite, the state is very interested in dismantling this unity. The case of Gary is the exception; it's not the rule.
However, the environmental history in the text gives nature little agency and therefore the book is flawed in many ways.
I'm waiting for a book like this to be written about Camden or East St. Louis.
