| Summary, etc. |
The paper examines how blacks and other less powerful groups have been unfairly portrayed and represented within the public policy debate on environmental issues. The common assumption that blacks are rather shallow in their concern for the environment is one example of this bias. Its validity is assessed under the conditions of the economic contingency hypothesis, which specifies that this apparent lack of concern by blacks should be most evident during periods of economic decline. Previous studies and analyses conducted on NORC General Social Survey trend data do not lend support to this claim. Suggestions are provided to better identify, articulate, the incorporate the views of people of color in environmental policy and its administration. - Reproduced. |
