Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book explores the political maneuvers in southern states around 1900 that systematically stripped voting rights from African Americans and many lower-class whites. By 1908, states like Alabama, Georgia, and Louisiana had effectively disenfranchised these groups, reversing the gains made during Reconstruction. This historical analysis highlights the strategies employed to undermine democracy and the long-lasting impact of these actions, which left affected communities without voting rights for more than fifty years.
