Book excerpt: Girdner (international relations, Bashkent U., Turkey) and Smith (English and philosophy, North Central Missouri College) examine the toxic waste industry and the economic logic behind its expansion. The authors contend that class is the main factor determining where toxic waste dumps are sited both in the U.S. and globally. The text centers around the story of how the politically marginalized people of Mercer County, Missouri successfully resisted the attempts of Amoco Waste- Tech to build a toxic landfill in their area.
