Book Review

Garbage Wars: The Struggle for Environmental Justice in Chicago. By David Naguib Pellow. Cambridge, Mass.: The MIT Press, 2002. ix + 234 pp. Illustrations, notes, bibliography, index. $24.95.

David Pellow has succeed in producing a book that finally addresses, although in a limited sense, environmental inequalities that have occurred and are occurring in the heart of America's industrial complex, Chicago. This is a critical achievement since much of the environmental justice literature published to date has focused on African Americans living in rural Southern communities or Latino communities in the West, like Robert Bullard's seminal work, Dumping in Dixie: Race, Class and Environmental Quality (3rd ed., Westview, 2000) or Luke W. Cole and Sheila R. Foster's From the Ground Up: Environmental Racism and the Rise of the Environmental Justice Movement (New York University Press, 2001).
