Description
Summary:
In Citizen, Inc. Brancaccio reports on the citizens of St. Thomas Township, Pennsylvania who are opposing a company's plans to build a quarry in their small town. The Township did a uniquely American thing: they elected a town superviosr who shared their view. The ensuing battle, like many around the nation that are pitting communities against corporations, raises a quest at the heart of American democracy: can corporate rights trump the will of the people? In Wangari Maathai, Brancaccio interviews the Nobel Peace Prize winner about her way of connecting human rights, democracy and the environment in East Africa.
