"A new landmark in the literature on environmental health. Fluid and agile in scope, precise and searching in its pursuit of what matters most, Toxic Injustice tells a tale by turns harrowing and hopeful, as corporations with deep pockets and few scruples match up against activist-victims and their allies who, it turns out, have a few tricks up their own collective sleeves. A must-read for anyone wishing to understand the globalized economy of risk in our early twenty-first century: how its worst dangers get foisted upon the most vulnerable, but also how its cracks and crevices create new transnational openings for the pursuit of justice."
--Christopher C. Sellers, author of Hazards of the Job: From Industrial Disease to Environmental Health Science
--John Soluri, author of Banana Cultures: Agriculture, Consumption, and Environmental Change in Honduras and the United States " Toxic Injustice sheds new light on globalization and the nation-state. It is truly multidisciplinary, drawing together environmental, legal, medical, labor, industrial, and transnational histories. Susanna Rankin Bohme finds little-known sources to tell the story of how multinational companies and national governments have been involved with the production, distribution, and regulation of the pesticide DBCP, and the result is devastating."
--Aviva Chomsky, author of Undocumented: How Immigration Became Illegal
