The environmental justice movement is a kind of socio-environmentalism which reacts when corporate or government business negatively and simultaneously impacts on marginalized human groups and nature. Twenty-three essays by James O'Connor, Ynestra King, Winona LaDuke, Cesar Chavez, Mary Mellor and other activists explore topics such as the polluting plunder and pillage of resources in developing countries, the dangers to farm workers from agribusiness, environmental racism, grassroots ecofeminism, dangerous workplaces, blue collar women protesters of toxic waste, native peoples' objections to the conquest of nature, and the most encompassing topic, the capitalist juggernaut against nature. Appended is the Principles of Environmental Justice, adopted at the First National People of Color Environmental Leadership Summit (1991), calling for, among other things, "the conscious decision to challenge and reprioritize our lifestyles to insure the health of the natural world for present and future generations."
