The Reading Room

Living author

Carol Anderson

1959-

The historian who documents voter suppression as deliberate policy rather than accident. One Person, No Vote traces the mechanisms, the purges, the closures, the requirements, that quietly subtract eligible voters from the rolls, and shows the pattern behind what can look like scattered local decisions. She writes to make the machinery visible, on the principle that what is seen can be contested.
