Apartheid. It’s not a word that you can just throw around. When it’s used, it suggests a systematic, deliberate, intentional effort to subjugate and oppress another group with full governmental support. It started in South Africa. It was present in the United States of America. It’s happening now to Palestinians. And now it’s happening to our environment.It’s called “Environmental Apartheid”. And we need to call it out. Name it. Dismantle it. But first, we need to educate ourselves and be aware of how it functions around us.So let’s get into it on this episode of the Environmental Justice Lab.Resources:A History of Apartheid in South AfricaEnvironmental Apartheid: Eco-health and Rural Marginalization in South Africa - Journal of Rural StudiesAmerican ApartheidThe Legacy of American Apartheid and Environmental RacismInfrastructure Apartheid with Dr. Maya Carrasquillo - Cities @ Tufts Podcast Connect with our Environmental Justice Lab community: Instagram: @envjusticelab YouTube: @envjusticelab Email: theenvironmentaljusticelab@gmail.comDon’t forget to subscribe and rate the podcast wherever you listen!Support our work by joining the Supporters Club: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-environmental-justice-lab--5583745/support
