Toxic Tourism: Rhetorics of Pollution, Travel, and Environmental Justice (Rhetoric, Culture, and Social Critique)
Synopses & Reviews Book News Annotation: An effective tool for raising public awareness of egregious cases of
pollution, so-called toxic tours highlight as well the disparate
impact pollution has on low-income populations. In this
well-researched study, Pezzullo (communication and culture, Indiana
U.) describes the people, businesses, politics, environment, and
histories of several toxic tours, while maintaining a focus on
rhetoric and its use by those in power. Highlighting stubborn and
prevalent attitudes and mores in American commerce and society, this
study engages with questions of ethics and class as they are played
out in the use of the environment.
