One Person, No Vote: How Voter Suppression Is Destroying Our Democracy

"From white sheets to spreadsheets, *One Person, No Vote *documents the history of U.S. policy that has denied Americans of color their right to vote. Carol Anderson’s prose is unflinching, and she wastes no time as she marches the reader from the openly racist, clear-cutting suppression tactics of the early 20th century toward the carefully veneered, ruthlessly efficient disenfranchisement campaign of the present. Whether you only think about voting on a single Tuesday in November or you’re passionately engaged in the fight for the ballot, you will set this book down with the knowledge that it’s all so much worse than you thought."
