In The Wrong Complexion for Protection, Robert D. Bullard and Beverly Wright place the government response to natural and human-induced disasters in historical context over the past eight decades. They compare and contrast how the government responded to emergencies, including environmental and public health emergencies, toxic contamination, industrial accidents, bioterrorism threats and show that African Americans are disproportionately affected. Bullard and Wright argue that uncovering and eliminating disparate disaster response can mean the difference between life and death for those most vulnerable in disastrous times. 001479986 538__ $$aMode of access: Internet via World Wide Web. 001479986 546__ $$aIn English. 001479986 5880_ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from PDF title page (publisher's Web site, viewed 18.
