A critically important must-read for all those concerned with environmental justice." - Daniel Faber (Northeastern University) "A richly layered study of hazardous waste and its many discontents . Sicotte''s book offers a model multicausal analysis of environmental burdening. At one level, she shows that environmental burdens are spread across Philadelphia in ways that might encourage activists, business leaders, and politicians to work together and address common problems. At another level, she challenges scholars to refine their analyses of environmental justice in ways that highlight the intersection of class, ethnicity, and race. It is a timely and rewarding book."
