What should be done to change this inequitable situation lies at the heart of the movement for environmental justice."

It provides a detailed chronology of key events in the development of the movement, including events associated with both the civil rights and environmental movements; biographical sketches of activists, legislators, scholars and others associated with the movement; legislation, court cases, and policy statements and recommendations; a directory of organizations; lists of print and nonprint resources; a glossary; and an index."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
