False Promises

The Struggle for Black Voting Rights in 1800s Ohio

Beschreibung

Grounded in primary sources, this book uses critical fabulation to envision how men of color fought against Ohio's racist nineteenth-century voting restrictions. It reveals how contemporary voter-suppression tactics have roots in Ohio's history and challenges the perception that such historical practices were solely confined to the South.
