ANTH 110I Lecture Notes - Lecture 4: University Of California, Santa Cruz, Vermont Law School, World Cafe
Document Summary
Before we get started i wanted to share a story about a photo i"m looking at with juanita. I grew up in a working class family, in a shipyard town. In high school i knew i wanted to go to college. I was told not everyone is made to go to college and that i should do what my father did. (my father and mother did not go to college). Where i grew up is now becoming a superfund site. When you talk about environmental racism you also have to talk about power. Which communities have power to prevent other people from toxifying their environment. Hurricane katrina - not just a force of nature - the devastation was worse in african. When i was a professor at uc santa cruz i took students there on an alternative spring break trip to the 9th ward in new orleans. It appears to us that your government hates your people .
