In Congress We Trust?: Enforcing Voting Rights from the Founding to the Jim Crow Era - Cambridge Studies on Civil Rights and Civil Liberties
Tolson, Franita (University of Southern California)
This book traces how Congress shaped American elections across more than a century of constitutional development. Challenging conventional wisdom about states' rights, it uncovers how politics, not constitutional limits, often explain federal action (and inaction). This timely read reframes debates over voting, democracy, and federalism.
