Toxic City

"Thinking about questions of imperialism and militarism, Lindsey Dillon illuminates the importance—nationally and internationally—of environmental justice and the work on reparations."—Nicole Fabricant, author of Fighting to Breathe: Race, Toxicity, and the Rise of Youth Activism in Baltimore

"In analyzing how the Bayview-Hunters Point community became a site of environmental vulnerability, Toxic City provides an important history that has been neglected within studies of California and the Bay Area."—Juan De Lara, author of Inland Shift: Race, Space, and Capital in Southern California

"Incisive, devastating, and inspiring all at once, Dillon's Toxic City sets a new bar for environmental justice scholarship. This richly textured and engagingly narrated account reveals the tenacity of the residents and community organizers trying to make a better world even as the state has abandoned places and workers deemed essential in wartime as well as in times of 'green' urban redevelopment."—Jill Lindsey Harrison, author of From the Inside Out: The Fight for Environmental Justice within Government Agencies and Pesticide Drift and the Pursuit of Environmental Justice
