Review
"This book clearly documents why Louisiana has emerged as the epicenter of a national public policy earthquake known as environmental justice. Scholars, students, activists and policymakers will find it an essential source on key controversies of the 1990s. It is especially useful in demonstrating how such battles arise, why poor communities of color are not doomed to lose them, and why the environmental justice issue will endure." Christopher H. Foreman, Jr., University of Maryland; Non-Resident Senior Fellow, Governmental Studies Program, The Brookings Institution
"This book is an excellent chronicle of the maelstrom of environmental injustices and racism in Louisiana. The authors consciously construct their work to ensure maximum authenticity of voice..." Environment
"Chronicles from the Environmental Justice Frontline takes the reader to the epicenter of U.S. struggles over environmental justice: Louisiana, America's quintessential 'pollution haven.' This is the most useful environmental justice book for use in undergraduate sociology and environmental studies courses that has been published thus far." Frederick H. Buttel, University of Wisconsin, Madison
"A fresh look at a dirty old problem of environmental injustice in Louisiana's Cancer Alley." Robert D. Bullard, Clark Atlanta University, author of Dumping in Dixie
"This is exactly what the title proclaims, a series of reports on environmental justice battles that have taken place in the recent past around the country...a good place to get up to speed on the long and difficult effort to achieve environmental justice." Earthjustice In Brief
"In this book, Roberts and Toffolon-Weiss dig beneath the advocacy sound bites and statistics to examine four environmental justice cases as real, personal struggles of individuals for their health and the health of their communities.... All those concerned with social development should consult this book." Social Development Issues
"These authors give a particularly chilling account of the political-economic climate in Louisiana in which race and economics have always been complexly intertwine, dating back to the era of slavery." Brenda L. Murphy, Wilfrid Laurier University
