"Informed by the transdisciplinary research in social and environmental justice, Race and Environmental Justice in the Era of Climate Change and COVID-19 is both a scholarly contribution to the ongoing discourse and a form of activism for environmental, climate, and health justice. Using race and indigeneity as an analytical lens, the book explores how justice in the era of climate change and COVID-19 is envisioned, depicted, and achieved. While this book largely focuses on humans and environments, its explorations of (in)justice help not only to illustrate the wide health and safety gap between individuals, communities, and even nations living under different environmental conditions, but also to move beyond the human toward justice for all. Race and Environmental Justice in the Era of Climate Change and COVID-19 is a scholarly endeavor to foreground the voices from world communities, provide solutions to environmental and health crises, and restore justice for all"-- Provided by publisher.
