I am delighted to announce that MIT Press has just published my book, Pesticide Drift and the Pursuit of Environmental Justice.
http://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262516280
In the book, I use the case of political conflict over agricultural pesticide drift in California, as well as a theoretical framework from political philosophy, to critically evaluate the competing notions of justice at work in environmental politics today. Notably, I argue that environmental inequalities stem not only from industry malfeasance and regulatory failure but also from the particularly problematic notions of justice that shape the work of the environmental regulatory state and non-EJ social movement actors.
Please also note my new contact information (listed below).
Best,
Jill
