Dumping in Dixie : Race, Class, and Environmental Quality.
Bullard, Robert D. 1946-
Dumping in Dixie : Race, Class, and Environmental Quality. - 3rd ed. - xxii, 234 pages : illustrations, maps ; 23 cm
Includes bibliographical references (pages 181-195) and index.
Environmentalism and social justice -- Race, class, and the politics of place -- Dispute resolution and toxics : case studies -- The environmental justice movement : survey results -- Environmental racism revisited -- Environmental justice as a working model -- Action strategies for the twenty-first century.
To be poor, working-class, or a person of color in the United States often means bearing a disproportionate share of the country's environmental problems. Starting with the premise that all Americans have a basic right to live in a healthy environment, Dumping in Dixie chronicles the efforts of five African American communities, empowered by the civil rights movement, to link environmentalism with issues of social justice. In the third edition, Bullard speaks to us from the front lines of the environmental justice movement about new developments in environmental racism, different organizing strategies, and success stories in the struggle for environmental equity.
