Super important read, and a great resource for other intersectional environmentalist to learn from! Imo very accessible, as well as emotional and hopeful.

Some of the specific example were really interesting and informative, but some bits were surface level and repetetive.

I've been waiting forever to read this book...to further my knowledge of the shit we do to the BIPOC community. I started to pay attention more when the Flint water crisis happened, and then, Covid happened, which made me question things. Then, the cancer cluster started dominating local Houston news for the 5th Ward residents. Now, I wanted to know more.
This book is a good first step to learning about environmental racism. There is a lot of information, and I especially like all the resource varieties at the end to further your knowledge or participation. I also loved how she does look at the darker side of the green wave like what's happening with lithium mining and the indigenous people of South America. I wished her book was better organized and this may be the Technical Writer in me, but it annoys me to no end when I see inconsistent use of abbreviations and/or just throwing them out there without an explanation. Whatever you do, be detailed and keep it consistent. And she did use the word Intersectional Environmentalism a lot, like every sentence and sometimes multiple times in one sentence.
I do highly recommend this book as a starting point; she does give a list of books to read, too.

Good introduction to environmental justice, but fairly surface-level. It tries to include as many topics as possible, but in doing so, sometimes gives only a couple of sentences to a topic. There is a large resource section in the back if you want to go deeper.
There are discussion questions through the book, so good for a classroom setting.
