本文是探索环境正义的新努力的一部分，因为它出现在拉丁美洲，既是大众动员的象征，也是一套学术分析和解释的原则。这项研究从美墨边境开始，一个社区与工业危险废物作斗争。然后，它考虑了更大的区域努力，以发展跨境环境正义合作，并在墨西哥开展一项全国性的运动，以制定更真实的知情权法律。北墨西哥也为更广泛地分析拉丁美洲环境正义的希望和局限提供了一个出发点。尽管存在严重的制约因素，取得的成功喜忧参半，但这篇文章发现了希望的潜力，认为环境正义采取了无数的地方形式，将环境目标融合到现有的大众社会正义运动中。
This article is part of an emerging effort to explore environmental justice as it appears in Latin America, both as a symbol of popular mobilization and as a set of principles for scholarly analysis and interpretation. The study begins on the U.S.-Mexico border, with one community's struggle against industrial hazardous waste. It then considers larger regional efforts to develop cross-border environmental justice collaboration, and a national campaign to create more authentic right-to-know laws in Mexico. Northern Mexico also provides a point of departure for a broader analysis of the promise and limits of environmental justice in Latin America. While the constraints are serious and the successes mixed, the article finds hopeful potential, arguing that environmental justice takes on myriad, local forms that fuse environmental goals into existing popular movements for social justice.
