Environmental History Of The Duwamish River, Jonathan Betz-Zall Apr 2009

Environmental History Of The Duwamish River, Jonathan Betz-Zall

Jonathan Betz-Zall

The recent history of the Duwamish River in Seattle, Washington, demonstrates a typical pattern of racism and class discrimination in land use policy. Historical images document the changes in land use as European-Americans took over the area and concentrated industrial activities there. GIS analysis clearly portrays the concentration of toxic sites in areas populated by poor people and people of color. Hope for future cleanups rests on community mobilization.
