520 "Though we are the most wasteful people in the history of
the world, very few of us know what becomes of our waste.
In Waste Away, Joshua O. Reno reveals how North Americans
have been shaped by their preferred means of disposal:
sanitary landfill. Based on the author's fieldwork as a
common laborer at a large, transnational landfill on the
outskirts of Detroit, the book argues that waste
management helps our possessions and dwellings to last by
removing the transient materials they shed and sending
them elsewhere. Ethnography conducted with waste workers
shows how they conceal and contain other people's wastes,
all while negotiating the filth of their occupation,
holding on to middle-class aspirations, and occasionally
scavenging worthwhile stuff from the trash. Waste Away
also traces the circumstances that led one community to
host two landfills and made Michigan a leading importer of
foreign waste. Focusing on local activists opposed to the
transnational waste trade with Canada, the book's
ethnography analyzes their attempts to politicize the
removal of waste out of sight that many take for granted.
Documenting these different ways of relating to the
management of North American rubbish, Waste Away
demonstrates how the landfills we create remake us in turn,
often behind our backs and beneath our notice"--Provided
