Internationally, wealthy countries of the North increasingly ship hazardous wastes to poorer countries of the South, resulting in such tragedies as the disaster at Bhopal. Through case studies that highlight the type of information that is seldom reported in the news, \u003ci\u003eFaces of Environmental Racism\u003c\/i\u003e exposes the type and magnitude of environmental racism, both domestic and international. The essays explore the justice of current environmental practices, asking such questions as whether cost-benefit analysis is an appropriate analytic technique and whether there are alternate routes to sustainable development in the South.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rowman \u0026 Littlefield Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47591619362967,"sku":"9780847680450","price":17756.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780847680450.webp?v=1774973867","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/faces-of-environmental-racism-confronting-issues-of-global-justice-9780847680450","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
