Indeed, her description of the perpetual war that blacks and now Latinos have fought to get and keep the right to vote is impeccably researched, deftly written and, sadly, prescient. What made me want to holler were the reams of evidence Anderson presents to prove an irrefutable point: Since Reconstruction, conservative whites have tried to strip minorities of their constitutionally guaranteed right to vote, by any means necessary. … One Person, No Vote is slim…but it punches above its weight, like a lecture from a professor with superb command of language. Anderson’s storytelling shines … the book reminded me of the classic anti-establishment expression: If you’re not outraged, you’re not paying attention.
