Toxic Water, Toxic System

"In this inspiring work, Michael Mascarenhas issues a clarion call to environmental justice scholars and activists to use bolder, more accurate language to confront environmental racism as intentional actions perpetrated by elites in the service of white supremacy, vulture capitalism, and genocide. That's what I call tellin' it like it is!"--David Pellow, Univerrsity of California, Santa Barbara and author of What is Critical Environmental Justice? "Toxic Water, Toxic System is the most thorough study yet of the one the most iconic environmental justice disasters of recent times. Theoretically rigorous and empirically rich, this book is a compelling read for anyone interested in the roots of inequality in the United States."--S. Ravi Rajan, Olga T. Griswold Chair and Professor of Environmental Studies, University of California, Santa Cruz "Mascarenhas and We the People of Detroit make an incredible team, crafting a book that is community based, historically and empirically rich, and clear in its vision and recommendations for the future of water."--Kyle Whyte, University of Michigan
