The MacArthur grantâwinning 'Erin Brockovich of Sewage' tells the riveting story of the environmental justice movement that is firing up rural America, with a foreword by the author of Just Mercy.
What The Reviewers Say
With the people of Lowndes Country forced to live in squalor, and burdened by an unaffordable fix, Flowers exposes the true injustice of the situation and how it can be remedied, from both sides of the political spectrum. This is a powerful and moving book that deserves wide readership..
Pamela Rush didn’t get the home she deserved. She tried.
Mixing memoir, civil rights history, and polemic, this blunt litany by Flowers delivers a call to action for all concerned about sustainable solutions to the shamefully inadequate environmental infrastructure, policies, and practices in the United States..
In Waste, Flowers recounts a lifetime of advocacy that has culminated in the battle for one Alabama county. Flowers was raised by Civil Rights activists, with others in and out of her home, and so advocacy has been a theme throughout her life.
