Acerca de esta escucha

From the award-winning, New York Times best-selling author of White Rage, the startling - and timely - history of voter suppression in America, with a foreword by Senator Dick Durbin.

In her New York Times best seller White Rage, Carol Anderson laid bare an insidious history of policies that have systematically impeded black progress in America, from 1865 to our combustible present. With One Person, No Vote, she chronicles a related history: the rollbacks to African American participation in the vote since the 2013 Supreme Court decision that eviscerated the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Known as the Shelby ruling, this decision effectively allowed districts with a demonstrated history of racial discrimination to change voting requirements without approval from the Department of Justice.

Focusing on the aftermath of Shelby, Anderson follows the astonishing story of government-dictated racial discrimination unfolding before our very eyes as more and more states adopt voter suppression laws. In gripping, enlightening detail she explains how voter suppression works, from photo ID requirements to gerrymandering to poll closures. And with vivid characters, she explores the resistance: the organising, activism, and court battles to restore the basic right to vote to all Americans as the nation gears up for the 2018 midterm elections.

one person, no vote clearly explains voter suppression and how it is eating away at democracy in the US.

I highly recommend this book. I think more people in the US should read it to understand what is really happening in the US. When we deny people their right to vote, we hurt our democracy. The book also lists quite a few voting rights agencies that people can either get involved with, donate to or get more information.

Everyone should read this

I thought I was fairly well-informed on this topic but was shocked at what I did not know. Its content is frightening.

How did I not know?

The revelation in this book is, for me, difficult to put into words. It's embarrassing how much has happened right under my nose during a time in my life when I thought I was paying attention.

Lots of solid evidence on a horrible problem in our country

If you’re aware of the problem of voter suppression and want to learn more, this is a great (and horrifying) read. It can be quite disheartening but everything in this book is information that needs to be spread throughout our country like the virus of Q did. Please read!

Brilliant and devastating

Carol Anderson has written a brilliant, thorough and devastating analysis of a systemic attack on our democracy. Every American should read this book — and then take action.

Greater Power than Wealth Lies in One’s Unhindered Right to Vote

Dr. Carol Anderson has done it again with her new book! It is a must read if only to learn how the greater power, in even a flawed democracy, is in the people’s legally unhindered right to vote.

Voting responsibilities & rights

A most interesting history of voting from Civil War era to present day. It is well written & well documented. A great reason to vote.

Revealing

Carol Anderson has inspired me once again with her work! I am a history major and one of my interests is studying voter suppression in the U.S. I did not anticipate this book to so thoroughly cover voter suppression efforts in the 2018 midterms! I appreciate that she discussed the efforts of some states like Connecticut and Oregon to protect, and expand access to, the right to vote in the last chapter. There is hope for the future and the first step to achieve a better future is to combat voter suppression! Look up your state legislature and do a bill search (ex. "Connecticut legislature bill search") to see if your state is threatening voting rights and contact your representatives!

You will never look at Democracy the same.

Carol Anderson has done it again. Eyes wide open she walks you through what happened and exactly how the Voting Rights of Millions of Americans were systematically taken away. You can’t read this book and remain in Wonderland. A must READ!

Sobering, but an absolute must read

Carol Anderson thoroughly addressed what’s happening right in front of us. I am so glad I listened to this book because I was left feeling somewhat reassured that I’m not crazy. The whole country is NOT against me. It’s just a few conniving, ill willed, (mostly) white men in power that are plotting against relinquishing control. With this knowledge, we too can devise a plan to stop them or at least slow them down. This is a must read for every American that wants to REALLY know how our so called democracy works.
