Abstract：The Back of the Turtle, the Governor General’s Literary Awardwinning book by Thomas King, describes an environmental disaster caused by toxic leakage in an Indian reservation in Canada. The novel unveils the environmental racism through the toxic discourse, analyzing the deeprooted racism in Canada towards the aboriginals. In this way the novel reveals the relationship between the environmental contaminant and the race issue, and the possibility of environmental justice in a society where racism still prevails.
