520    Oil waste was everywhere--on the roads, in the rivers 
       where they fished, and in the water that they used for 
       bathing, cooking, and washing. Children became sick and 
       died, cases of stomach cancer skyrocketed, and women 
       miscarried or gave birth to children with congenital 
       disorders. The American oil company Texaco--now part of 
       Chevron--extracted its first barrel of crude oil from 
       Amazonian Ecuador in 1972. It left behind millions of 
       gallons of spilled oil and more than eighteen million 
       gallons of toxic waste. In Crude, Ecuadorian lawyer and 
       activist Pablo Fajardo gives a firsthand account of 
       Texaco's involvement in the Amazon as well as the ensuing 
       legal battles between the oil company, the Ecuadorian 
       government, and the region's inhabitants. As a teenager, 
       Fajardo worked in the Amazonian oil fields, where he 
       witnessed the consequences of Texaco/Chevron's 
       indifference to the environment and to the inhabitants of 
       the Amazon. Fajardo mobilized with his peers to seek 
       reparations and in time became the lead counsel for UDAPT 
       (Union of People Affected by Texaco), a group of more than
       thirty thousand small farmers and indigenous people from 
       the northern Ecuadorian Amazon who continue to fight for 
       reparations and remediation to this day.Eye-opening and 
       galvanizing, Crude brings to light one of the least well-
       known but most important cases of environmental and racial
       injustice of our time.
