Review # 1 was written on 2020-07-23 00:00:00 Larry Land Another potentially educational book I had to abandon because of its willful obscurantism.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-06-07 00:00:00 Chris Stevenson I received a copy of this book because I read the glowing blurbs of it on amazon, and added it to my wish list. A mistake on my part, I think, as the book turned out to be an unfortunate example of how bizarre writing on certain topics can become when transferred into academic jargon and citation. I can't really see this book being very useful to either environmental justice activists or to sociologists interested in really understanding the environmental justice movement. The concepts are so basic to anyone already working in environmental justice, but they're dressed up here to look more authoritative - to convince whom, I'm not sure. The author's whole argument has been made many times before, and usually more quickly and elegantly at that.
