摘要

环境种族主义与种族资本主义之间的关系已被充分记录在案。然而,某些形式的环境种族主义的长期存在往往归咎于政府。然而,将环境种族主义归咎于政府,而不记录政府为减轻或防止环境种族主义再次发生而采取的一些行动和实施的政策,往往是一种片面的观点。因此,本研究探讨了美国政府如何在环境种族主义(即密歇根州弗林特水危机)的发生中扮演某些角色。种族资本主义理论被用作本研究的理论视角。种族资本主义、历史上的居民住房政策、反黑人或贬低黑人身体、任命紧急财务管理人员、环境种族主义、新自由主义、自由放任和色盲种族主义是弗林特水危机发生的驱动机制。此外,还记录了美国政府为减轻或防止《粮食危机公约》再次出现而采取的不同行动和政策。不过,这些行动都是在妇女和儿童战争发生后采取的。以材料为基础的方法(二手数据)不仅为本研究回答的研究问题提供了答案,还用于解释种族资本主义的全球动态和运作。

The Flint Water Crisis and the Perpetuation of Environmental Racism in Flint, Michigan (2014–2018)

The nexus between environmental racism and racial capitalism has been well documented. However, the government is often blamed for the perpetuation of some forms of environmental racism. Nonetheless, blaming the government for environmental racism without documenting some actions and policy implementation by the government to mitigate or prevent the re-occurrence of environmental racism tends to be a one-sided view. Consequently, this study examines how the American government plays some roles in the occurrence of environmental racism, that is, the Flint Water Crisis (FWC) in Michigan. Racial capitalism theory is used as a theoretical lens in this study. Racial capitalism, historical residential housing policies, anti-blackness or devaluation of Black bodies, the appointment of Emergency Financial Managers, environmental racism, neoliberalism, laissez-faire, and color-blind racism were the mechanisms driving the occurrence of the FWC. The different actions and policies that were taken by the American government to mitigate or prevent the re-emergence of FWC were also documented. Although, these actions were taken after the occurrence of the FWC. The materials-based method (secondary data) was not only adopted to provide answers to the research question that this study answered but was also used to explain the global dynamic and operation of racial capitalism.
