Selected Publications

For the 13 years from 1990 to 2003, CRPE published the Race, Poverty & the Environment journal with the Urban Habitat Program. This groundbreaking journal was for many years the only national publication focused on environmental justice. It has treated such disparate topics as pesticides, energy, food security, the law, the border, and immigration. RPE is still published by Urban Habitat, and back issues are available on Urban Habitat’s website.

CRPE staff have also published training manuals and theoretical articles on environmental justice topics, for activists, lawyers and for the general public. Some of these publications include the following;
