Hook eligibility:
- Cited:
- Interesting:
- Other problems:
- All three of the cited sources note that the book was the first book to discuss environmental (in)justice, but the hook seems more cautious in saying "one of the first". These three reliable sources all say it was the first, so I think it is fine to take a firmer stance. Additionally, could the Robert D. Bullard article be linked into the hook somehow? For example, "... that Dumping in Dixie by Robert D. Bullard ..." I think this could give more context.
| QPQ: Done. |
Overall: 
In the "Reaction" section of the article, could there be given more context for who the people giving the reviews are? Especially for those without articles on Wikipedia, I think they should be introduced with their current job/position to show they have authority. For example, this is done in the "Unfavorable" sub-section where it says "Similarly, Texas A&M University professor John Thomas posits...," there should be a brief introduction like this for all of the names mentioned under "Reaction". This looks good overall though. Riley1012 (talk) 01:45, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
