Do to our recent talk about Eco-justice, culture, and gender I started thinking about a book I had read In High School called, "Amazing Grace". Although it focuses on the inner city of the South Bronx and the lives of those in lower income situations it also shows the effects of poor environment. Jonathan Kozol records the stories of people living in such terrible conditions where their environment is actually making them sick. Most these people wont even leave their own homes to be outdoors so they wont have to risk their safety. Here is picture of the cover and a video to give you more of view about the book. This is one of my favorite books that moved me and changed my way of thinking about the environment.
