The environmental justice movement practices two kinds of politics-an identity politics basing appeals on the experiential, subjective knowledge of its grassroots members and a disinterested politics basing appeals on the expert, objective knowledge of scientists. Yet each form of politics currently undermines the other because they draw on very different assumptions about the nature of scientific knowledge. The movement can increase the likelihood of reaching its goals if it reconciles its two forms of politics by propagating social constructionist views of knowledge stressing the inevitable interrelation of facts and values
