"Blood into Water: A Case of Social Justice is a novel that weaves together the past and the present, from Mayan legends to contemporary stories of corporate greed. The story connects a mother and son, Sofia and Miguel Rodríguez, to a corporate scheme of exploitation uncovered by reporter Caleb Barthes. Barthes is sent to Nicaragua on an investigative assignment to look into water privatization plans. He learns far more than he expects about the environmental, political, and cultural issues surrounding 'water.' Perhaps more importantly, he learns about postcolonial exploitation and his own complicity, as well as the loss that can follow, not only for himself, but others. This novel, inspired by the Bolivian Water Wars, offers students a creative text dealing with an environmental issue that leads to a social movement. Anthropologists, archaeologists, historians, rhetoricians, sociologists, psychologists, political scientists, as well as scholars of business, organizational communication, interpersonal communication, cultural studies and environmental studies will easily find a place in the curriculum for this novel"--

Environmental justice is the subtext of this collection of anxieties around the need for a sustainable future on Planet Earth. Thinkers and scholars from a diversity of backgrounds reflect on what it means and how cultures must change to greet this future. From Romania to Mexico, Bosnia to Canada, Sweden to California authors analyze and recount community experiences and expectations leading to justice for land, sea, air and wildlife. The kind of ethical weltanschauung for a society in which this kind of justice is achievable is suggested. The collection points to the myriad of single instance decisions that we must all make in living our daily lives whether in our homes, workplaces or leisure time. From good policies to sound management, governments, corporations and community-based organizations will find prudent praxis from cover to cover.

"This book examines efforts by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to protect human health and the environment for overburdened populations by developing and implementing guidance on incorporating environmental justice into the EPA's rulemaking process. All to often, low-income, minority and tribal Americans live in the shadows of the worst pollution, facing disproportionate health impacts and greater obstacles to economic growth in communities that cannot attract businesses and jobs. Every American deserves clean air, water and land in the places where they live, work, play and learn. The EPA hopes to lead by example in expanding the conversation on environmentalism and working for environmental justice, now and in the future."--Preface.

From Flint, Michigan, to Standing Rock, North Dakota, minorities have found themselves losing the battle for clean resources and a healthy environment. This book provides a modern history of such environmental injustices in the United States and Canada. From the 19th-century extermination of the buffalo in the American West to Alaska's Project Chariot (a Cold War initiative that planned to use atomic bombs to blast out a harbor on Eskimo land) to the struggle for recovery and justice in Puerto Rico following Hurricane Maria in 2017, this book provides readers with an enhanced understanding of how poor and minority people are affected by natural and manmade environmental crises. Written for students as well as the general reader with an interest in social justice and environmental issues, this book traces the relationship between environmental discrimination, race, and class through a comprehensive case history of environmental injustices. Environmental Racism in the United States and Canada: Seeking Justice and Sustainability includes 50 such case studies that range from local to national to international crises.

"La notion de justice environnementale émerge face aux constats d'un accès différent aux ressources de l'environnement ainsi que d'une inégale distribution des risques environnementaux affectant certains groupes sociaux. Souvent abordée dans les travaux de recherche au Nord, l'analyse des critères de justice ou d'injustice associés à l'environnement tels que l'accès à l'eau, l'extraction de minerais ou la reconnaissance des communautés locales, n'a été que très peu étudiée en Afrique. Pourtant, de nombreux territoires africains font l'objet d'aménagements effrénés pour accompagner leur forte croissance et pour répondre aux enjeux de développement qui affectent l'environnement des populations riveraines. Les contributions théoriques, méthodologiques et empiriques présentées dans cet ouvrage permettent de cerner les questions de justice environnementale au-delà des perspectives classiques. Elles montrent ainsi comment l'historicité des rapports de domination entre différents types d'acteurs en Afrique est une variable déterminante dans l'appréhension de la notion de justice. Cet ouvrage s'adresse aux chercheurs intéressés par les enjeux de justice socio-environnementale dans les pays du Sud, aux ONG luttant contre ces injustices, aux étudiants en sciences sociales et en aménagement du territoire ainsi qu'aux bailleurs de fonds finançant des infrastructures et confrontés à l'opposition croissante d'acteurs locaux ou internationaux."
