American Identity Crisis
A trailblazing voting rights activistās passionate, smart, and sometimes funny look at why she started a movement to ensure nineteen million Americans have access to the polls.
American Identity Crisis weaves together three remarkable stories: the making of an activist and advocate in the wake of the Supreme Courtās decision in Shelby vs. Holder, gutting the Voting Rights Act of 1965; the fight against the Byzantine efforts that are being used to keep peopleāyouth, the elderly, the homeless, and veteransāfrom 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. In American Identity Crisis, she takes us on a cross-country tour as she and her volunteers try to āseeā many Americans who are nameless and faceless. We meet military veterans, the un-housed, and elderly people who never learned to read or write, and the fierce advocate who insists on recognizing their humanity and seeing them as souls who are resilient and just in need of a little help.Ā
Told in a voice that is strong and vulnerable; funny and fearless, confident and self-deprecating, American Identity Crisis is a defense of human dignity and everyoneās right to have access to our democratic system, most notably voting.
