This chapter provides an introduction to the contested dynamics between medical knowledge, public policy, and grassroots political action. The chapter examines how lead’s victims and their advocates responded to a once “invisible” and newly recognized environmental disease. It also analyzes official state responses in relation to international biomedical and public-health intervention norms and practices. The chapter argues the state’s Official Protocol worked to minimize the parameters of lead-poisoning risk by, among other measures, raising international action thresholds—doubling the threshold for the lead level in blood and quintupling it for that in water. It conformed a set of de-facto policies and regulatory interventions focusing and circumscribing state action on lead poisoning within the spatial realm of squatter settlements, the cultural realm of the urban poor, and the ecological realm of soil.

This chapter details how Uruguayan experts and citizens negotiated, translated, and “localized” global biomedical expertise, as well as how social theories of risk, vulnerability, and human nature became embedded in public-health interventions and scientific research. The chapter examines the biopolitical nature of the state’s Official Protocol and how it was both effectively deployed and continuously resisted, sometimes through double meanings associated with the oft-repeated phrase, “we are all contaminated.” The chapter chronicles the ways dissident scientists created new biomedical “artifacts” by generating and expanding toxicological data and pediatric case files, lending evidentiary support to social-movement characterizations of the weight of suffering and the geographic distribution of risk. The chapter argues that a central dimension of this scientific research and practice was its symbiosis with the social movement and the social proximity of clinicians to the lived experience of patients and families.

The conclusion revisits the book’s key themes and its overlapping analytical approaches to environmental justice, knowledge/power, and governance/resistance, and it provides an update on the lead-contamination issue fifteen years after it publicly emerged. The book ends with a message of hope, chronicling a story of rebirth in a mitigated landscape emerging from the detritus and memory of a toxic nightmare.

This chapter chronicles the story of squatters who engaged in fraught and complex processes of homemaking in the face of environmental degradation and infrastructural ruin. The chapter focuses on housing activism and relocation, which represents one of the movement’s major victories as the government relocated hundreds of families from contaminated squatter settlements into state-financed housing divisions. The ethnographic heart of the chapter involves housing activism surrounding two of La Teja’s major squatter settlements, Inlasa and Rodolfo Rincón, including contested debates over widespread culturalist explanations of toxic suffering and the character of urban marginality. The chapter concludes with a critical discussion of the alternative integrative vision of housing and social inclusion put forth by the leftist Frente Amplio’s ambitious post-neoliberal programs targeting integration of the socially excluded.

This chapter examines debates surrounding lead contamination and the Uruguayan state petroleum enterprise ANCAP. Through ANCAP, the politics of contamination (political ecology) became embroiled with the politics of privatization (political economy), bringing together concerns over the health of citizen bodies and the health of the state. In these overlapping debates, the ANCAP directorship and the state oil-workers union, FANCAP, presented contrasting visions regarding the role and character of both the public enterprise and the modern state in neoliberal times. The chapter traces the roots of organized labor’s militant and radical history of defending the “means of state production,” including its heroic resistance against the dictatorship. It examines the union’s double bind in denouncing the enterprise’s role in contamination through leaded-gasoline production while defending it from privatization.
