Wastelanding
Author: Traci Brynne Voyles
Publisher: U of Minnesota Press
ISBN: 1452944490
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 333
Book Description
Wastelanding tells the history of the uranium industry on Navajo land in the U.S. Southwest, asking why certain landscapes and the peoples who inhabit them come to be targeted for disproportionate exposure to environmental harm. Uranium mines and mills on the Navajo Nation land have long supplied U.S. nuclear weapons and energy programs. By 1942, mines on the reservation were the main source of uranium for the top-secret Manhattan Project. Today, the Navajo Nation is home to more than a thousand abandoned uranium sites. Radiation-related diseases are endemic, claiming the health and lives of former miners and nonminers alike. Traci Brynne Voyles argues that the presence of uranium mining on Diné (Navajo) land constitutes a clear case of environmental racism. Looking at discursive constructions of landscapes, she explores how environmental racism develops over time. For Voyles, the “wasteland,” where toxic materials are excavated, exploited, and dumped, is both a racial and a spatial signifier that renders an environment and the bodies that inhabit it pollutable. Because environmental inequality is inherent in the way industrialism operates, the wasteland is the “other” through which modern industrialism is established. In examining the history of wastelanding in Navajo country, Voyles provides “an environmental justice history” of uranium mining, revealing how just as “civilization” has been defined on and through “savagery,” environmental privilege is produced by portraying other landscapes as marginal, worthless, and pollutable.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Klamath Indians of Southwestern Oregon The list below contains titles of books and articles upon the two tribes of the Klamath people, which are of scientific interest, whereas others, also mentioned in this list, are of popular interest only. Several of the latter I have never been able to inspect personally. During the Modoc war a large number Of articles appeared in the periodical press, expatiating upon the conduct of that war, the innate bravery of the Indian, the cruelty of the white against the red race, and other commonplace topics Of this sort. As the majority of these were merely repetitions of facts with which every reader of the political press was then familiar, I did not secure the titles of all of these articles. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.
