During the Christmas season of 2006, Kevin Bosin presented a notebook to his father, Morris. The purpose was to record one-to-two-page narratives of their past adventures, primarily around special occasions, passing the notebook back and forth.

Now, decades later, Morris and Kevin share their father-son relationship with the world, highlighting frustrating teenage moments, humorous camping adventures, a particular run around the lake, and heart-wrenching moments. While their scenarios are unique, there are undeniably common moments any father and son can recognize and relish in their own memories of the past.

Horrific Voter Suppression
Format: Paperback
This is a very well documented book about voter suppression in America. It was interesting to see that before the Jim Crow era, black people voted, were elected to office, got educations and did fairly well. With Jim Crow, horrific voter suppression began (lynchings, etc.). In the early days it was the Southern Democrats and the KKK. As time went on the methods simply became more devious. In the 1930s FDR began attempting to attract black voters to the party. By the end of WWII we had "Dixiecrats". By the time the time the Civil Rights Act was passed, the transition was complete and those Southern Democrats were now members of the GOP. (Much of that bit of history is not in the book, but you'll want to look it up.) The GOP is now the master of voter suppression, and you can see it pretty much everywhere but especially in Georgia, Texas, Minnesota and many southern states. The book is chock full or examples, case histories and stories of resistance. It made me want to sell my house and give the money to the ACLU, NAACP, and SPLC to defend our most precious right (not privilege) to vote.

This is a MUST read!!
Format: Kindle
This book is a must read! I was just not aware of the extent of the planned, organized, deliberate and insidious actions that the Republican Party has taken to suppress votes from the disenfranchised and the impact that has on our Democracy. I am stricken by the horror of what has been happening now for YEARS and is still going on today!! Carol Anderson has compiled hard data to demonstrate the pervasiveness of the many voter suppression steps that have been taken across many states, primarily in the deep south, but not exclusive to the south. It’s very difficult to take reams of data and put it into a coherent, logical sequence that can be easily understood but she is masterful at making her book eminently readable. This is a very data driven book but I had no trouble getting through it. The conclusion did have some hopeful information relaying steps that some states are taking to increase voter participation which did give me some hope. I am so glad that I read this and I think we all should be informed on this issue as it is central to our state as a country.

Great book but disappointing kindle experience
Format: Kindle
A must-read for anyone who wants to understand the troubled and racist history of voting rights in the US. My only complaint is that the Kindle version of this book messes up the footnotes. The great thing about reading on the Kindle is that you don't have to flip back and forth to check the footnote cites; you only have to click on them. Sadly, the footnotes aren't correct in the Kindle version of the book. They somehow were shifted by one, as I was able to confirm in my hardcover copy, completely ruining the experience if you wish to read more about a specific incident. This is inexcusable in my mind, but I won't hurt the rating for this book by taking off a star.

Activist history
Format: Hardcover
Anderson quite thoroughly explodes the myth of the rampant voter fraud claims that fuel the actual problem of rampant voter disenfranchisement, particularly aimed at non-whites. And, by extension, Anderson explodes the myth of the United States being a free and open democracy and shows us how much we still have to do to live up to the national image some of us like to think we put out to the world. From the illegal purging of voter registrations, to gerrymandering, to voter intimidation, Anderson offers up the facts of the racist policies that look to keep elections in the hands of white patriarchy and suppress its opponents. While Anderson sometimes resorts to some typical metaphors in her rhetoric (false comparisons to Stalin, for example, or Orwell name drops) that could too easily be cherry-picked by dull-minded opponents looking to poke holes in an otherwise fine case of what should be enraging us into action.
