No rating yet(0 ratings)Why the Vote Wasn't Enough for Selma is a hardcover African American History Books title by Karlyn Forner, SKU sku-55833092. Forner examines why gaining voting rights did not bring economic justice to African Americans in Alabama's Black Belt. Drawing on a range of sources, she traces the effects of systematic disenfranchisement and unequal investment in African American communities.
The book treats Selma as a place where the fight for full citizenship continued alongside a shift from cotton farming to cattle raising, federal divestment policies and economic globalization. By the end of the twentieth century, the region's economic conditions stood in sharp contrast to Selma's political legacy. Forner argues that economic justice is essential to full citizenship.
