Book Overview

Environmental Justice: A Reference Handbook, Second Edition offers a current overview of the environmental inequities faced by poor and minority communities and the development of the grassroots movement working to address them.

Building on the original edition's focus on the link between social inequalities and the uneven distribution of environmental hazards in the air, water, and soil, Environmental Justice: A Reference Handbook, Second Edition presents a contemporary look at the convergence of the environmental movement and civil rights activism.

Environmental Justice, Second Edition follows the rise and maturation of the movement focused on environmental racism, describes solutions that have been implemented, and examines issues that remain unresolved. The book offers a wealth of new data and information, particularly in its expanded coverage of environmental disparities in developing countries and its rich bibliography of print and online resources.

A top pick for any college-level library strong in environmental science

The second updated edition of ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE is a pick for college-level libraries and joins others in the Contemporary World Issues series. It provides some strong connections between environmentalism and civil rights, considering patterns of exposure to environmental problems by minorities and the major evolution of the environmental justice movement of the last three decades. College-level libraries strong in either environmental or social justice issues will find this a top reference.
