Everyday exposure: indigenous mobilization and environmental justice in Canada’s chemical valley

This book lays bare the systemic environmental injustice suffered by the Aamjiwnaang First Nation in Canada. Surrounded by chemical manufacturing, this Indigenous community reports abnormal rates of miscarriage, cancer, and cardiovascular and respiratory illnesses. This book thus lays bare the persistent colonial legacy of health and ecological suffering in First Nation’s communities. To do so, the author addresses conflicting levels of jurisdiction but also engages with clashes between Indigenous and scientific knowledge, and experiential accounts of Aamjiwnaang residents. Driven by a strong sense of environmental injustice, this book contributes to the critical policy agenda while taking the voices of Indigenous citizens seriously.
