Description
Urban Emergency (Mis)Management and the Crisis of Neoliberalism places the Flint, Michigan, water contamination disaster in the context of a broader crisis created by neoliberal governance in the United States. Authors from a range of disciplines—including sociology, criminal justice, anthropology, history, communications, and jurisprudence—examine the failures in Flint, with an emphasis on comparison.
Their analysis calls attention to similar trajectories for cities like Detroit and Pontiac in Michigan, and Stockton in California. While the studies collected here emphasize policy failures, class conflict, and racial oppression, they also attend to the resistance undertaken by Flint residents, Michiganders, and U.S. activists as they fought for environmental and social justice.
Contributors include: Terressa A. Benz, Jon Carroll, Graham Cassano, Daniel J. Clark, Katrinell M. Davis, Michael Doan, David Fasenfest, A.E. Garrison, Peter J. Hammer, Ami Harbin, Shea Howell, Jacob Lederman, Raoul S. Lievanos, Benjamin J. Pauli, and Julie Sze.
