The Politics of Asbestos

Understandings of Risk, Disease and Protest

More about the book

Focusing on the rise of asbestos-related diseases globally, this book examines personal and community narratives surrounding illness, risk, and compensation in the UK, India, and South Africa. It contrasts these perspectives with formal medical and legal frameworks, highlighting how dominant narratives can limit government responses. Linda Waldman advocates for incorporating diverse understandings to shape more effective policies aimed at sustainability and social justice, offering valuable insights for researchers, policymakers, and regulators.
