With \u003ci\u003eOne Person\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e No Vote\u003c\/i\u003e, 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 \u003ci\u003eShelby \u003c\/i\u003eruling, this decision effectively allowed districts with a demonstrated history of racial discrimination to change voting requirements without approval from the Department of Justice. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Focusing on the aftermath of \u003ci\u003eShelby\u003c\/i\u003e, 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. In a powerful new afterword, she examines the repercussions of the 2018 midterm elections. And with vivid characters, she explores the resistance: the organizing, activism, and court battles to restore the basic right to vote to all Americans.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCarol Anderson, PhD, \u003c\/b\u003eis the Charles Howard Candler Professor and Chair of African American Studies at Emory University.
