Focusing on the Uruguayan lead poisoning crisis, the book explores its social, political, and environmental impacts through a political ecology of health lens. It connects the epidemic to neoliberal reforms, globalization, and the resurgence of the political Left in Latin America. The narrative highlights the emergence of an environmental justice movement and the interplay of local and transnational environmental ideologies. Through detailed ethnographic analysis, it examines the links between lead contamination, class politics, poverty, and the challenges of addressing this critical health issue.
