"A ripped-from-the-headlines book . . . Anderson is a highly praised academic who has mastered the art of gathering information and writing for a general readership, and her latest book could not be more timely." - Kirkus "In White Rage , a New York Times best seller that won the National Book Critics Circle Award,Emory professor Anderson chronicled efforts since 1865 to block the advancement of African Americans. Here she concentrates on efforts to curtail the African American vote since the 2013 Shelby ruling gutted the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Anderson considers both consequences--e.g., photo ID requirements, poll closures--and means of redress." - Library Journal, Barbara's Nonfiction Picks for September 2018 "Most of us are well aware that there is something fundamentally broken about the way we vote--but not why. In One Person No Vote , Carol Anderson offers up a timely, powerfully written, and comprehensive indictment of the (relatively recent) history of brutal race-based vote suppression, and its many modern iterations--from voter ID requirements and voter purges, to fraudulent election fraud commissions and stolen elections. Along the way Anderson traces the rise and fall of the landmark Voting Rights Act and how the Supreme Court continues to blinker itself to the ways in which American elections are neither free nor fair, and how the dignity of states and white voters continues to be privileged above the franchise itself. A must-read for anyone wondering why voting is the most important issue we continue to misapprehend." - Dahlia Lithwick, Chief Legal Correspondent for SLATE and host of the Amicus podcast "As Carol Anderson makes clear in One Person, No Vote , the right to vote is under even greater assault today. For the sake of those who fought and died for it, it is up to all of us to insist that this most basic American right be protected. Reading this well-crafted book will arm you with the facts." - Senator Dick Durbin, from the Foreword "A call to action: the shocking truth of how the Republican Party has systematically worked to white-wash our democracy by disenfranchising minority voters." - Amy Siskind, author of THE LIST "Carol Anderson is one of our most incisive and cogent thinkers regarding history's fingerprints on current affairs. With One Person, No Vote she has produced a crucial examination of a critical issue: voter suppression. At a time when democracy is under siege and the worst elements of the racial past are being resurrected we can scarcely afford to avert our eyes from our most pressing challenges. Carol Anderson looks at these issues directly, unflinchingly, and offers us an invaluable insight regarding where we are, how we got here, and how we might navigate our way to safer shores." - Jelani Cobb, author of THE SUBSTANCE OF HOPE "An extraordinarily timely and urgent call to confront the legacy of structural racism bequeathed by white anger and resentment, and to show its continuing threat to the promise of American democracy." - Editor's Choice, New York Times Book Review on WHITE RAGE "A sobering primer on the myriad ways African American resilience and triumph over enslavement, Jim Crow and intolerance have been relentlessly defied by the very institutions entrusted to uphold our democracy." - Washington Post on WHITE RAGE "Some books are great, some books are essential. White Rage is the latter." - Ed Yong, The Millions on WHITE RAGE "Lends perspective and insight for those of us who are willing to confront, study and learn from the present situation in this country." - St. Louis Dispatch on WHITE RAGE, Lends perspective and insight for those of us who are willing to confront, study and learn from the present situation in this country., An extraordinarily timely and urgent call to confront the legacy of structural racism bequeathed by white anger and resentment, and to show its continuing threat to the promise of American democracy., "This whiplash-inducing chronicle of how a nation that just a few short years ago elected its first black president now finds itself in the throes of a deceitful and craven effort to rip this most essential of American rights from millions of its citizens." -- Booklist "A ripped-from-the-headlines book . . .

Anderson considers both consequences--e.g., photo ID requirements, poll closures--and means of redress." -- Library Journal, Barbara's Nonfiction Picks for September 2018 "Well-timed . . . In a slim volume, Anderson details the outrages of Republican efforts to target largely minority voters and to limit their influence in elections. . . . Blood-boiling stories like these come rapid-fire in Anderson's narrative, which is also peppered with a brief history of voter suppression dating back to Reconstruction." -- Washington Monthly "An extraordinarily timely and urgent call to confront the legacy of structural racism bequeathed by white anger and resentment, and to show its continuing threat to the promise of American democracy." -- New York Times Book Review on WHITE RAGE "A sobering primer on the myriad ways African American resilience and triumph over enslavement, Jim Crow and intolerance have been relentlessly defied by the very institutions entrusted to uphold our democracy." -- Washington Post on WHITE RAGE "Some books are great, some books are essential.

Synopsis
Finalist for the PEN/John Kenneth Galbraith Award for Nonfiction Longlisted for the National Book Award in Nonfiction Named one of the Best Books of the Year by: Washington Post * Boston Globe * NPR* Bustle * BookRiot * New York Public Library From the award-winning, New York Times bestselling 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 bestseller 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 organizing, activism, and court battles to restore the basic right to vote to all Americans., As featured in the documentary All In: The Fight for Democracy From the award-winning, New York Times bestselling author of White Rage , the startling--and timely--history of voter suppression in America, with a foreword by Senator Dick Durbin., As featured in the documentary All In: The Fight for Democracy Finalist for the PEN/John Kenneth Galbraith Award for Nonfiction Longlisted for the National Book Award in Nonfiction An NPR Politics Podcast Book Club Choice Named one of the Best Books of the Year by: Washington Post * Boston Globe * NPR* Bustle * BookRiot * New York Public Library From the award-winning , New York Times bestselling author of White Rage , the startling--and timely--history of voter suppression in America, with a foreword by Senator Dick Durbin.

  • "One Person, No Vote" If you value our democartic process and the right to every citizen to participate in that process, you should read this book.

    Professor Carol Anderson studied and digested years of political manipulation. Innocent, honest people suffered as a result of politician's greed and self-importance. Ms. Anderson takes the reader on a hellish excursion of state and federal politics up to and including current debacles inflicted on the voting masses by way of gerrymandering, physical intimidation, and the schemes to pillage voter rolls. She reinforces current headlines with well researched facts exposing the diabolical lengths many politicians go to keep their precious jobs, at any and all costs to our valued and frequently emulated democratic process.
