Summary:
"In "
There
's
Something
In The
Water
", Ingrid R. G. Waldron examines the legacy of
environmental
racism
and its health impacts in
Indigenous
and
Black
communities
in Canada, using Nova Scotia as a case study, and the grassroots resistance activities by
Indigenous
and
Black
communities
against the pollution and poisoning of their
communities
. Using settler colonialism as the overarching theory, Waldron unpacks how
environmental
racism
operates as a mechanism of erasure enabled by the intersecting dynamics of white supremacy, power, state-sanctioned racial violence, neoliberalism and racial capitalism in white settler societies. By and large, the
environmental
justice narrative in Nova Scotia fails to make race explicit, obscuring it within discussions on class, and this type of strategic inadvertence mutes the specificity of Mi’kmaq and African Nova Scotian experiences with
racism
and
environmental
hazards in Nova Scotia. By redefining the parameters of critique around the
environmental
justice narrative and movement in Nova Scotia and Canada, Waldron opens a space for a more critical dialogue on how
environmental
racism
manifests itself within this intersectional context. Waldron also illustrates the ways in which the effects of
environmental
racism
are compounded by other forms of oppression to further dehumanize and harm
communities
already dealing with pre-existing vulnerabilities, such as long-standing social and economic inequality. Finally, Waldron documents the long history of struggle, resistance, and mobilizing in
Indigenous
and
Black
communities
to address
environmental
racism
."--From publisher.
