Recensioner i media
This wide-ranging collection of essays . . . is vivid and rigorous. -- Bernard Boxill, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill A compelling collection . . . [on] a global issue that demands our immediate attention. -- Angela Y. Davis, University of California, Santa Cruz; author of Blues Legend and Black Feminism Within the context of civil rights, the book clearly illustrates the role of environmental health and justice. * CHOICE * This volume portrays extremely well the diversity of perpetrators and victims of environmental injustice around the world. The book makes a strong contribution to the literature, and it is one of the few volumes to recognize environmental justice as a pressing domestic and international issue concurrently. * Environment * In its second edition Faces of Environmental Racism remains an accessible and penetrating introduction to the issue of environmental racism in North America and as perpetrated in Africa by multi-national corporations based in industrialised western nations. * Environmental Values * Westra and Wenz have provided an invaluable and long overdue anthology in which all essays . . . provide insights not available elsewhere. Faces is accessible, yet challenging, and should be required reading in environmental ethics and policy courses, and would be a valuable supplement in social, political, and ethnic studies courses as well. . . . [and] provides a compelling cultural mirror of environmental injustice from which we cannot turn away. -- Shai Collins-Chobanian, University of Arizona, West * Environmental Ethics *
