The Bhopal Library
This collection of books reveal the evolving understanding of the meaning of the Bhopal, India tragedy over the last 25 years for our era of industrial globalization.
Dec. 2/3, 2009 marked the 25th anniversary of the world's worst industrial disaster in Bhopal, India - often called India's "Hiroshima" - where victims still continue to suffer a quarter century after the original catastrophe killed some 10,000 in one terrible night and more than 100,000 still suffer. But Bhopal is not just a human rights tragedy from the last century. In 2004 Amnesty International reported that Bhopal was still a human rights travesty, a canary in the mine for the lack of governance of multinational corporations.
