Book Review

"Lord, We're Just Trying to Save Your Water": Environmental Activism and Dissent in the Appalachian South. By Suzanne Marshall. Gainesville: University Press of Florida, 2002. xx + 343 pp. Illustrations, maps, notes, bibliography, index. Cloth $55.00.

Marshall's book examines the activities of six grassroots community organizations in one of the most understudied subregions of the southern Appalachians: northeast Alabama and northwest Georgia. The book's title is a prayer spoken by Ed Donaldson, an environmental activist preacher who, in 1997, opened his community meetings with those very words. Donaldson's quote is indicative of the many compelling oral histories featured in the book and speaks volumes about the grassroots nature of environmental protest in the Appalachian South.
