This comprehensive volume explores the Flint, Michigan, water contamination crisis within the broader context of a crisis exacerbated by neoliberal governance in the United States. A diverse group of authors from various disciplines, including sociology, criminal justice, anthropology, history, communications, and jurisprudence, delve into the failures of Flint, placing particular emphasis on comparisons with other cities such as Detroit and Pontiac in Michigan and Stockton in California. While the studies presented herein highlight policy failures, class conflicts, and racial oppression, they also acknowledge the resilience and resistance exhibited by Flint residents, Michiganders, and U.S. activists as they fought tirelessly for environmental and social justice.
