@kevintmorris.bsky.socialAnd here, being political scientists, we would have probably settled for "readable" 😆
@taniel.bsky.socialReposted by @kevintmorris.bsky.socialI'm THRILLED to finally get my hands on this new book on the Voting Rights Act!
I've long talked to author @kevintmorris.bsky.social, who is an indefatigable researcher of voting rights and the (worsening) state of democracy in this country. So I know for a fact I'll be learning a ton.
@kevintmorris.bsky.socialIf you'd asked us our goal, we would have written basically exactly this. Very glad it came through: "Miller and Morris are both social scientists, and their training shines in the figures and tables that give empirical weight to their inquiry without slowing down the book’s propulsive narrative."
@kevintmorris.bsky.social"Episodes like this imbue An American Problem with color and energy. Miller and Morris are adroit storytellers, weaving together decades of history, political science, and legal scholarship without allowing the impressive sweep of their analysis to drain life from the people who shaped it."
@kevintmorris.bsky.socialThanks, Daniel! Grateful as ever for your (and the whole Bolts team's) partnership in the work

@brennancenter.orgReposted by @kevintmorris.bsky.socialWhat’s left in the fight for voting rights? A lot. In An American Problem, Michael G. Miller and @kevintmorris.bsky.social trace the Voting Rights Act’s history, its successes, and how Shelby County v. Holder weakened its protections. Available now: #[bit.ly/4y6W1ot
