The book delves into the troubling practice of exporting hazardous waste from wealthy nations to impoverished communities of color, highlighting its severe health and ecological impacts. It explores the emergence of transnational environmental justice movements that confront this inequality, linking it to broader issues of race, class, and global dynamics. Through research and firsthand accounts, the author traces the evolution of waste trade since the 1980s, examining its implications and advocating for a path toward environmental justice and sustainability.
