"American Identity Crisis weaves together three remarkable stories: the making of an activist and advocate in the wake of the Supreme Court's decision in Shelby vs. Holder, gutting the Voting Rights Act of 1965; the fight against the Byzantine efforts that are being used to keep people-youth, the elderly, the homeless, and veterans-from the participating in all facets of American life, most notably voting; and how we can raise awareness to the successful disinformation campaigns that are pitting powerful authorities and institutions against the most vulnerable among us. Kat Calvin ties all of these threads together in profound ways.
