Description
"On January 9, 2014, chemicals used for cleaning crushed coal poured into the public drinking water in Charleston, WV. This book tells a particular set of stories of this chemical spill and its aftermath, an unfolding water crisis that would lead to months, even years, of fear and distrust. It is both oral history and collaborative ethnography, jointly conceptualized, researched, and written by people-more than 50 in all-across various positions in both academe and local communities"--
