- Abstract
Katrinell M. Davis's book, "Tainted Tap: Flint's Journey from Crisis to Recovery," provides a unique perspective on the Flint water crisis. As a Flint native, Davis offers insight into the factors that contributed to the crisis and its aftermath. The book traces the history of Flint's decline, highlighting failed urban renewal policies, racial discrimination, and disinvestment. Davis also explores how residents cope with the failures of public service provision and struggle to make their voices heard. Despite the challenges, the book emphasizes the resilience and determination of Flint's residents in their fight for justice and a better future.
