A Town Slowly Burned: Life And Death In A Small Louisiana Town, Victoria C. Bush May 2018

A Town Slowly Burned: Life And Death In A Small Louisiana Town, Victoria C. Bush

University of New Orleans Theses and Dissertations

When Tori Bush’s father died of chemical causes related to Agent Orange, she found herself obsessed with tracing dioxins, one of the main ingredient of Agent Orange in other American communities. She began to visit and interview residents of Mossville, Louisiana, a small town on the border of Texas, which has fourteen petrochemical facilities surrounding the town. The residents also had been exposed to dioxins. Grief and anger connected Tori to this story, but it is far larger—is the right to a healthy natural environment a part of our American citizenship?
