Bishop provides a comprehensive examination of international human rights law and explains four conceptualizations of access to information as a human right. Rights to information have been linked to the right to free expression, the right to privacy, and the right to a healthy environment, and the right to the truth about human rights abuses. She concludes that a human right to access information is evolving in disparate ways.

Despite signs that the chemical was dangerous, it was widely used in U.S. agriculture and on Chiquita and Dole banana plantations in Central America. In the late 1970's, DBCP was linked to male sterility, but an uneven regulatory process left many workers-especially on Dole's banana farms-exposed for years after health risks were known. Susanna Rankin Bohme tells an intriguing, multilayered history that spans fifty years, highlighting the transnational reach of corporations and social justice movements. Toxic Injustice links health inequalities and worker struggles as it charts how people excluded from workplace and legal protections have found ways to challenge power structures and seek justice from states and transnational corporations alike. 606 $aDibromochloropropane$xToxicology 606 $aDibromochloropropane$xHealth aspects$xLaw and legislation 606 $aAgricultural laborers$xHealth and hygiene 606 $aEnvironmental justice 606 $aFruit trade$xHealth aspects$xLaw and legislation 610 $aagriculture. 610 $aamerican agriculture. 610 $abanana plantations. 610 $abig business. 610 $acentral america. 610 $acentral american history. 610 $achallenge power structures. 610 $achemical companies. 610 $achemicals. 610 $achiquita. 610 $acorporations. 610 $adbcp. 610 $adibromochloropropane. 610 $adole. 610 $adow and shell. 610 $aexperiments. 610 $agovernment and governing. 610 $ahealth inequalities. 610 $ahealth risks. 610 $alegal protections. 610 $amale sterility. 610 $anematodes. 610 $apesticide. 610 $ascientists. 610 $asocial justice movements. 610 $asocial justice. 610 $atransnational. 610 $aworker rights. 610 $aworker struggles. 610 $aworkers. 610 $awormlike creatures. 615 0$aDibromochloropropane$xToxicology. 615 0$aDibromochloropropane$xHealth aspects$xLaw and legislation. 615 0$aAgricultural laborers$xHealth and hygiene. 615 0$aEnvironmental justice. 615 0$aFruit trade$xHealth aspects$xLaw and legislation. 676 $a363.738/4 686 $aAR 25180$2rvk 700 $aBohme$b Susanna Rankin$f1973-$01597773 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812103103321 996 $aToxic injustice$93919669 997 $aUNINA
