Drinking Water Crisis
- Floods and Fountains: Water Politics and Black Ecologies in Newark, NJ
- Kessie Alexandre. (Ph.D. Thesis) Princeton University, 2020.
- "Keyed to the compounded realities of chronic flooding, tap water contamination, and waterway pollution in the city of Newark, NJ, “Floods and Fountains” is an ethnography of urban water insecurity and infrastructure disrepair, which examines how water and water management shape political, social, and ecological relations over time. As the burdens of water insecurity disproportionately fall on Black communities, “Floods and Fountains” specifically considers how Black Newarkers contend with water toxicity in the contemporary moment in light of their broader struggles for environmental justice in the city, which date back to the late 1960s."
