The Plot of Polluted Promises: Environmental Racism and the Search for Justice in a Southern Town In the town of Hyde Park, Georgia, located just outside of Augusta, a predominantly African American community has been fighting for survival against the onslaught of industrial contamination and environmental racism. For decades, the residents of this community have lived next to nine highly polluting industries, resulting in devastating health effects and debilitating medical conditions. Despite the overwhelming evidence of the harmful impact of these industries on their lives, the voices of the community have long been ignored and silenced. In her book, Melissa Checker tells the story of this resilient neighborhood and their tenacious activism to reclaim their community's safety and well-being.

В течение десятилетий жители этого сообщества жили рядом с девятью сильно загрязняющими отраслями, что приводило к разрушительным последствиям для здоровья и изнурительным заболеваниям. Несмотря на неопровержимые доказательства вредного влияния этих отраслей на их жизнь, голоса сообщества долгое время игнорировались и замалчивались.

Сюжет «Загрязненных обещаний» вращается вокруг борьбы жителей Гайд-парка, которые борются за экологическую справедливость и право на чистую и безопасную среду обитания.
