Inequality, environmental injustice, and racism in Brazil: beyond the question of colour

Tania Pacheco

Development in Practice, 2008, vol. 18, issue 6, 713-725

Abstract: Starting from an analysis of social and environmental injustice, the author argues that the concept of environmental racism is integral to the hegemonic model of capitalist development. She reveals how the financial mega-conglomerates, helped by the media, exploit such prejudices, and highlights the relevance of environmental racism in the struggle to overcome inequalities, to value the importance of diversity, and to build full citizenship for all.
