The pesticide dibromochloropropane, known as DBCP, was developed by the chemical companies Dow and Shell in the 1950s to target wormlike, soil-dwelling creatures called nematodes. Despite signs that the chemical was dangerous, it was widely used in U.S. agriculture and on Chiquita and Dole banana plantations in Central America. In the late 1970s, DBCP was linked to male sterility, but an uneven regulatory process left many workers—especially on Dole’s banana farms—exposed for years after health risks were known. Susanna Rankin Bohme tells an intriguing, multilayered history that spans fifty years, highlighting the transnational reach of corporations and social justice movements. Toxic Injustice links health inequalities and worker struggles as it charts how people excluded from workplace and legal protections have found ways to challenge power structures and seek justice from states and transnational corporations alike.

The driving force behind this book is the need to convince the populace that the danger is real and paramount: the system has decayed to the point that it would no longer be recognizable to the Framers if they were alive. If you think you are immune from attack because you follow the law, think again. You must take an active role—even simply by spreading the word—to stem the tide. This publication is not intended to be a protective guide like Stack the Legal Odds in Your Favor. It is intended to be another reliable smaller news source. It is a recounting or an exposé of true events related to the author’s and others’ legal experiences—all supported by irrefutable facts and evidence. This work should be viewed as a lengthy news article or a reporter’s marathon dialogue at the scene of an unfolding catastrophic event. People who have committed wrongdoing and crimes will be named in this book. Unlike protection associated with any form of immunity—qualified, judicial, absolute, or otherwise—nobody will evade culpability. Government lawyers, such as Kristin Tavia Mihelic, will be named. Her misconduct will be revealed. Her crimes will be exposed. Judge Louise DeCarl Adler will similarly be thrust into the spotlight. Her misconduct and crimes will also not escape exposure. The list of miscreants is lengthy and is constantly growing, but everyone within my purview who is responsible for their iniquitous or criminal acts will be held accountable in this true report. Most people who have not (yet) experienced our illustrious injustice system may think the events described herein would be part of the script for a Hollywood fantasy movie—or more appropriately, a Hollywood horror flick. This is not so. Everything put forth will be supported by rock-solid evidence. The intent of this eye-opener is to prove to readers that any outrageous system-related stories they may have heard from friends, family members, or colleagues are likely true. It is also intended to be the proverbial whack on the side of the head that some individuals need to make them understand that being struck with the syndicate is not an “other person’s disease.” Ordinary people in Amerika must wake up to the fact that chances are high they will someday encounter the toxic waste dump also known as the world’s largest crime syndicate. The information in this book is a clarion call; however, time is running out. Read it, but fasten your seatbelts first. It’s going to be one heck of a bumpy ride.....

Toxic Heritage addresses the heritage value of contamination and toxic sites and provides the first in-depth examination of toxic heritage as a global issue. Bringing together case studies, visual essays, and substantive chapters written by leading scholars from around the world, the volume provides a critical framing of the globally expanding field of toxic heritage. Authors from a variety of disciplinary perspectives and methodologies examine toxic heritage as both a material phenomenon and a concept. Organized into five thematic sections, the book explores the meaning and significance of toxic heritage, politics, narratives, affected communities, and activist approaches and interventions. It identifies critical issues and highlights areas of emerging research on the intersections of environmental harm with formal and informal memory practices, while also highlighting the resilience, advocacy, and creativity of communities, scholars, and heritage professionals in responding to the current environmental crises. Toxic Heritage is useful and relevant to scholars and students working across a range of disciplines, including heritage studies, environmental science, archaeology, anthropology, and geography.

Environmental Justice: Key Issues is the first textbook to offer a comprehensive and accessible overview of environmental justice, one of the most dynamic fields in environmental politics scholarship. The rapidly growing body of research in this area has brought about a proliferation of approaches; as such, the breadth and depth of the field can sometimes be a barrier for aspiring environmental justice students and scholars. This book therefore is unique for its accessible style and innovative approach to exploring environmental justice. Written by leading international experts from a variety of professional, geographic, ethnic, and disciplinary backgrounds, its chapters combine authoritative commentary with real-life cases. Organised into four parts—approaches, issues, actors and future directions—the chapters help the reader to understand the foundations of the field, including the principal concepts, debates, and historical milestones. This volume also features sections with learning outcomes, follow-up questions, references for further reading and vivid photographs to make it a useful teaching and learning tool. Environmental Justice: Key Issues is the ideal toolkit for junior researchers, graduate students, upper-level undergraduates, and anyone in need of a comprehensive introductory textbook on environmental justice.

How many legal cases in America have we seen the victim continually become the victim in our "so called judicial system"? How many times have we in America seen the obvious criminal or guilty party walk free in our "so called judicial system"? Two questions that bewilder millions in our country especially with what seem like countless high profile and televised cases in the last couple decades where justice was obviously not served.This passion filled novel is based upon a true life story of a family of six stricken with countless illnesses; including an incurable disease for its husband and father who fought a legal battle over the loss of their estate home during the housing boom due to shoddy craftsmanship, numerous building code violations and finally losing it ALL due to unqualified mold testing and remediation services. WATCH the family's leader, David Deptula, use the legal system AGAINST itself knowing the "little guy", David, had to hit the powerful Goliath's of the insurance companies with tactics NEVER seen before in a legal battle stretching over five years.Scores of healthcare visits for his family and fighting an incurable disease himself due to the toxic exposure, the tactics the reader see David used brought him in front of some of the most powerful National, State and Local government leaders in this country including then Governor Jeb Bush of Florida and brother of the President of the United States using unconventional and often highly criticized methods making sure to not rely on what I frequently called for decades "The American Injustice System". The legislation was vetoed by Governor Bush. Florida's next Governor Charlie Crist, putting every special interest group aside, signed this life saving legislation into law putting his constituents in front of politics.Americans MUST read and absorb just how "convoluded and intertwined" our Country has allowed wrongdoings to dominate politics, banking and insurance, business conscious and our lack of a just judicial system. The time for changing of tactics is "now" for all of Americans and this novel will show all what it takes.

The twentieth century witnessed not only the devastation of war, conflict, and injustice on a massive scale, but it also saw the emergence of social psychology as a discipline committed to addressing these and other social problems. In the 21st century, however, the promise of social psychology remains incomplete. We have witnessed the reprise of authoritarianism and the endurance of institutionalized forms of oppression such as sexism, racism, and heterosexism across the globe. Edited by Phillip L. Hammack, The Oxford Handbook of Social Psychology and Social Justice reorients social psychology toward the study of social injustice in real-world settings. The volume's contributing authors effectively span the borders between cultures and disciplines to better highlight new and emerging critical paradigms that interrogate the very real consequences of social injustice. United in their belief in the possibility of liberation from oppression, with this Handbook, Hammack and his contributors offer a stirring blueprint for a new, important kind of social psychology today.
