Reviews
- “We are blessed in this presidential election year that former Deputy Chief of the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division and voting rights expert Gilda R. Daniels has written the definitive book on fighting against voter suppression and the erosion of our democracy... #RequiredReading.”—Ms. Magazine
- “Replete with documentary evidence and examples, this work sounds an alarm for any and all readers interested in reversing the damage and danger of the non-democratic dynamic threatening truth, justice, and the fight to vote.”—Library Journal
- “There is a sad sense of history repeating itself in this focused, hard-hitting, and highly relevant work, which moves from the historic Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965, which effectively tore down hindrances to voting in the South, to today’s newly erected voter suppression tools by the states...An accessible human story of a longtime history of voter suppression.”—Kirkus Reviews
- “In this guide to the practice and its effects a law professor Daniels, former deputy chief in the civil rights division of the U.S. Justice Department, describes how it works and provides a road map and a call to arms for participants in what she calls the fight to vote...This book is a valuable resource for all participants in civic life.”—STARRED Booklist
