Ecopopulism: Toxic Waste and the Movement for Environmental Justice Volume 1

by Andrew Szasz

Book Overview

Moment by moment the evidence mounts that unchecked modern industry is bringing us ever closer to environmental disaster. How can we move away from the brink of extinction, toward a human society the earth can bear? In the thriving popular politics of hazardous waste, Andrew Szasz finds an answer, a scenario for taking the most pressing environmental issues out of the academy and the boardroom and turning them into everyone's business.

Excellent book!

Fine book focusing on the formation of the US anti-toxics movement, including the experience of Love Canal and the important roles of grassroots activists and news media.
