Behind that momentous signature, however, lies a remarkable tale of grassroots activism and political mobilization. Today, thousands of activists in hundreds of locales are fighting for their children, their communities, their quality of life, and their health.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞From the Ground Up＜/em＞ critically examines one of the fastest growing social movements in the United Statesーthe movement for environmental justice. Tracing the movement's roots, Luke Cole and Sheila Foster combine long-time activism with powerful storytelling to provide gripping case studies of communities across the USーtowns like Kettleman City, California; Chester, Pennsylvania; and Dilkon, Arizonaーand their struggles against corporate polluters. The authors use social, economic and legal analysis to reveal the historical and contemporary causes for environmental racism. Environmental justice struggles, they demonstrate, transform individuals, communities, institutions and the nation as a whole.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
