The myth that racism is less prevalent in Canada than in the United States is unfounded. Ingrid Waldron’s book challenges this notion by documenting how anti-Black and anti-Indigenous racism in Nova Scotia leads to environmental risks and poor health outcomes for these communities. Waldron argues that “environmental racism is violence” and highlights the disproportionate placement of harmful facilities in Black and Indigenous areas as part of settler colonialism, racial capitalism, and slow violence. Drawing on the ENRICH project she directed, There’s Something in the Water reveals the ongoing reality of environmental racism in Canada.
