Petrochemical America documents the industrial corridor along the Mississippi River, often referred to as Cancer Alley, through the collaborative lens of photographer Richard Misrach and landscape architect Kate Orff. The volume pairs Misrach’s stark, expansive photographs of the region’s petrochemical infrastructure with Orff’s ecological 'zoom-in' maps and analytical essays. Together, they examine the complex relationship between industrial development, environmental health, and the cultural landscape of the American South.
