Toxic Water, Toxic System explores the consequences of a seemingly anonymous authoritarian state willing to maintain white supremacy at any cost, including poisoning an entire city and shutting off water to thousands of people. It amplifies the voices of marginalized communities, particularly African American women, and offers a fresh perspective on the ties between urban austerity policies, environmental harm, and the advancement of white supremacist agendas.

The unwavering determination of local communities to assert their ownership over America's third-largest water system is a testament to their unwavering resilience and unwavering commitment to justice. In his groundbreaking book, Toxic Water, Toxic System, Michael Mascarenhas sheds light on the devastating consequences of a seemingly faceless authoritarian state that is willing to perpetuate white supremacy at any cost. Through a compelling blend of narratives from frontline activists and archival data, Mascarenhas exposes the intricate web of political alliances and bureaucratic mechanisms that perpetuate inequality.
Drawing from three years of extensive ethnographic fieldwork in Flint and Detroit, this book amplifies the voices of marginalized communities, particularly African American women, whose perspectives and labor have often been overlooked. Toxic Water, Toxic System offers a fresh and insightful perspective on the interconnectedness of urban austerity policies, environmental harm, and the advancement of white supremacist agendas in predominantly Black and brown cities.
This book serves as a powerful reminder that the fight for social and environmental justice is not just a local or national issue, but a global one. It demands our collective attention and action as we work towards creating a more equitable and sustainable world for all.
