Zusammenfassung: "How do people live in a time after promises of progress have revealed themselves to be empty? In Futures after Progress, anthropologist Chloe Ahmann examines the grave, lethal threat posed by long-term air pollution in Baltimore, MD. Focusing on the industrialized community of Curtis Bay-ranked first in the country for air pollutants released from stationary sources-she examines competing visions of the future and the severe human toll they can take. Examining the rifts between white and Black communities, advocates of big industry and environmental activists, and older and younger generations, Ahmann shows how this community has become a battleground in which lives lost to pollution are seen by some as a regrettable side effect on the road to economic renewal. A rigorous, moving study of environmental risk and disaster, this book offers deep insights for our current condition and the possibility of a postindustrial world"--Call number: Grundsignatur: 2024 A 733PPN: PPN: 1866092227
