Where the Waters Divide: First Nations, Tainted Water and Environmental Justice in Canada

2007

Mascarenhas, M.

Taylor & Francis

Description

The author discusses how the neo-liberal reforms first introduced in the mid-1990s have impacted environmental justice, resulting in fewer legitimate opportunities for First Nations to participate in environmental governance that affects their health and welfare, and exacerbating historical disparities in health, environmental pollution, and well-being. He advocates for a broader definition of environmental justice to better understand the many ways this new form of environmental governance is particularly harmful to marginalized populations such as First Nations.
