I had no idea that this had happened and just how bad it was. Very good read. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars dumping in dixie *by B***B on Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2004* Robert Bullard, through his work Dumping in Dixie, calls to question the complex and controversial issue of environmental racism. He argues that African-Americans and minorities are being denied and stripped of a safe and healthy environment. Americans in certain areas, particularly low-income and minority families, are bearing the brunt of hazardous wastes and poisonous substances. Factories and corporations are choosing certain areas where they know that they can avoid pollution laws due to the current plight of the neighborhood. As a result, people in these low-income communities are suffering all the consequences of these corporations and receiving none of the economic benefits. Bullard emphasizes that the environmental movement did not resonate and take root in low-income communities, and therefore, there is a significant discrepancy in environmental threats and government protection between whites and minorities. Due to a lack of resources, mainly education and income, environmental racism exists in certain parts of America. I feel as though Robert Bullard calls awareness to a very relevant and noteworthy issue in American society. Although he only uses a few small towns in his arguments, the fact that these issues exist anywhere is disturbing. Environmental justice did not resonate in disadvantaged areas, and the corporations and government are showing absolutely no regard for the people in these communities. People and places cannot be sacrificed, and something must definitely be done to prevent this obvious racism and discrimination. In terms of his main arguments, I completely agree with Robert Bullard. He does an excellent job of raising a very significant issue. Many people do not even think about the evils of society, especially environmental racism. I did not even consider the innocent people and communities that were being harmed by these factories and corporations. Bullard's absolutely right, people are disadvantaged, and are oblivious to the environmental racism that exists and what can be done to stop it. By calling awareness to these problems and most importantly educating people on this issue, positive strides will be taken to eliminate this racism. I thought that Bullard did a great job using tables to illustrate his data and further support his arguments. Although at times I found the work to be a bit data intense, the tables did a great job reinforcing the inequalities in environmental threats and government protection. Along the same lines, I felt that the different surveys and representative samples that were used gave his argument even more momentum and significance. The case studies that were used really added to the work, and did a good job of applying Bullard's beliefs to real life situations. In addition to the fact that Bullard used too much data that sometimes slowed the read down, I felt that his emphasis on just the South may have detracted from his point a little. Although I understand that the South has been home to a majority of the African-American population, but it would have helped his argument to focus on at least one town in the north, whether it was white or black. I do not think that this emphasis completely destroyed his argument, but it is one critique of his work that I do feel is justified. Overall, however, I thought that Dumping in Dixie was a very intellectually engaging and stimulating work that will make me think about environmental racism. The history of the environmental movement has a great impact on everyone in the world, and action must be taken to prevent these environmental discrepancies from occurring now and in the future. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/14099691-dumping-in-dixie-race-class-and-environmental-quality-third-edition](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/14099691-dumping-in-dixie-race-class-and-environmental-quality-third-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-28*
