DESCRIPTION:City Lights in conjunction with San Francisco Bay Chapter Physicians for 
 Social Responsibility present Prof. Lindsey Dillon (UCSC) discussing her 
 new book, "Toxic City: Redevelopment and Environmental Justice in San 
 Francisco" (published by University of California Press).\n\nWednesday, May 
 29, 2024 at 6 - 8 PM PST\n\nRSVP: 
 https://citylights.com/events/lindsey-dillon-toxic-city-redevelopment-and-environmental-justice-in-san-francisco/\n\n\nToxic 
 City presents a novel critique of postindustrial green gentrification 
 through a study of Bayview-Hunters Point, a historically Black neighborhood 
 in San Francisco. \n\nAs cities across the United States clean up and 
 transform contaminated waterfronts and abandoned factories into inviting 
 spaces of urban nature and green living, working-class residents—who 
 previously lived with the effects of state abandonment, corporate 
 divestment, and industrial pollution—are threatened with displacement at 
 the very moment these neighborhoods are cleaned, greened, and revitalized. 
 \n\nLindsey Dillon details how residents of Bayview-Hunters Point have 
 fought for years for toxic cleanup and urban redevelopment to be a 
 reparative process and how their efforts are linked to long-standing 
 struggles for Black community control and self-determination. She argues 
 that environmental racism is part of a long history of harm linked to 
 slavery and its afterlives and concludes that environmental justice can be 
 conceived within a larger project of reparations.\n\nLindsey Dillon is a 
 critical human geographer and Assistant Professor of Sociology at the 
 University of California, Santa Cruz.\n
