sarabz's review against another edition

5.0

An excellent investigation of how pollution and corporate power has been perceived and challenged in Gary. Hurley shows the evolution of communities segregated by race and class and examines the ways in which industrial practices impacted the environmental conditions experienced by each community. The book details successes and failures and links them to a broader context of labor and community organizing as well as privileged access to information and changes in both political and economic structures.
