Description: This political zine is "a primer to environmental justice issues" about racism in the United States and Mexico. The zine uses words and illustrations to talk about specific locations of environmental racism in the United States since it was colonized. Global Backyards addresses the plight of American Indians, Latino/a's, African-Americans, and indigenous Mexicans exposed to toxic waste hazards, biological labs, and bombings that perpetually destroy the environment and also cause birth effects. The author references the Zapatistas in Chiapas and looks at other areas including New Orleans, Boston, and the Marshal Island. She provides a bibliography, as well.
