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. * NPR Best Books of the Year on ONE PERSON, NO VOTE * This trenchant little book will push you to think not just about the vote count but about who counts, too. * New York Times on ONE PERSON, NO VOTE * An extraordinarily timely and urgent call to confront the legacy of structural racism . . . 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 *
