Association for Humanist Sociology 2007 Book Award co-winner Julian Steward Award 2006 Runner-Up One community's fight against industrial contamination and environmental racism Over the past two decades, environmental racism has become the rallying cry for many communities as they discover the contaminations of toxic chemicals and industrial waste in their own backyards.
