  Every year, nations and corporations in the "global North" produce millions of tons of toxic
waste. Too often this hazardous material--linked to high rates of illness and death and widespread ecosystem damage--is
exported to poor communities of color around the world. In Resisting Global Toxics, David Naguib Pellow examines this
practice and charts the emergence of transnational environmental justice movements to challenge and reverse it. Pellow
argues that waste dumping across national boundaries from rich to poor communities is a form of transnational
environmental inequality that reflects North/South divisions in a globalized world, and that it must be theorized in the
context of race, class, nation, and environment. Building on environmental justice studies, environmental sociology,
social movement theory, and race theory, and drawing on his own research, interviews, and participant observations,
Pellow investigates the phenomenon of global environmental inequality and considers the work of activists,
organizations, and networks resisting it. He traces the transnational waste trade from its beginnings in the 1980s to
the present day, examining global garbage dumping, the toxic pesticides that are the legacy of the Green Revolution in
agriculture, and today's scourge of dumping and remanufacturing high tech and electronics products. The rise of the
transnational environmental movements described in Resisting Global Toxics charts a pragmatic path toward environmental
justice, human rights, and sustainability.David Naguib Pellow is Professor in the Ethnic Studies Department and Director
of California Cultures in Comparative Perspective at the University of California, San Diego. Among his books are the
award-winning Garbage Wars: The Struggle for Environmental Justice in Chicago (MIT Press, 2002) and Power, Justice, and
the Environment: A Critical Appraisal of the Environmental Justice Movement (coedited with Robert Brulle; MIT Press,
2005).
  
  Review
  
  "This is the book many of us have been waiting for. While linking the global
South and North, and drawing from a deep well of activist, academic, legal, and regulatory literatures, Pellow
interrogates the unequal and deeply racialized relations embedded in the trading and dumping of hazardous wastes in poor
communities and communities of color. Through critical advocacy research, he also charts the increasing sophistication
of the resistance, namely the emerging transnational environmental justice movement networks, who are using a
rights-based discourse to mobilize across national borders, and along racial, cultural, and class lines." Julian
Agyeman, Department of Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning, Tufts University
  
  
  "David
Pellow has written a book that brings together a sophisticated understanding of the global economic system and the
evolving transnational environmental justice movement. His study treats race and class seriously and non-reductively.
Anyone who wants to understand the forces that are shaping our understanding of environmentalism should turn to this
book."Gerald Torres , Co-author, The Miner"s Canary, Bryant Smith Chair, University of Texas Law School
  
 

  " Resisting Global Toxics provides a path breaking synthesis of the intersection of health, environment, and
justice impacts of industrialization in the era of globalization. The book provides a rich blend of theoretical and
activist perspectives and highlights the role of NGOs that are working to fill in the gaps in the absence of effective
global governance. By drawing on his research and participation with grass roots groups, David Pellow is able to
document a compelling and grounded form of global citizenship through the prism of race and class consciousness. He
shows how local and transnational groups around the world are strategically addressing the full life-cycle impacts of
globalizationfrom hazardous production through hazardous waste disposal. As he says, "Transnational environmental
justice offenses require transnational responses." This book provides authentic and compelling examples of such
responses that are making real impacts."Ted Smith , founder and Senior Strategist, Silicon Valley Toxics Coalition;
Coordinator of International Campaign for Responsible Technology
