这项工作是首次对1965年美国《选举权法案》的影响进行系统评估的尝试，该法案在美国通常被视为本世纪最有效的民权立法。撰稿人展示了南方的黑人和墨西哥裔美国人以及司法部是如何利用该法案和美国宪法来克服白人官员对少数族裔动员的抵制的。本书讲述了从内战结束到20世纪80年代，南方八个核心州黑人争取平等政治参与的故事，重点是1965年之后的时期。撰稿人使用多种定量方法来说明该法案如何极大地提高了黑人的登记率以及黑人和墨西哥裔美国人担任公职的人数。他们还解释了与少数族裔公民相关的现代选举权法律，讨论了重要的法律案例，并列举了大量该法律如何应用的实例。
This work is the first systematic attempt to measure the impact of the US Voting Rights Act of 1965, commonly regarded in the USA as the most effective civil rights legislation of the century. The contributors show how blacks and Mexican-Americans in the South, along with the Justice Department, have used the Act and the US Constitution to overcome the resistance of white officials to minority mobilization. The book tells the story of the black struggle for equal political participation in eight core southern states from the end of the Civil War to the 1980s, emphasizing the period since 1965. The contributors use a variety of quantitative methods to show how the Act dramatically increased black registration and black and Mexican-American office-holding. They also explain modern voting rights law as it pertains to minority citizens, discussing important legal cases and giving numerous examples of how the law is applied.
