Minority Rule

In "Minority Rule," Ari Berman examines the alarming threats to American democracy, notably illustrated by the January 6 Capitol riot, which reflects a broader disregard for majority will. Through comprehensive historical research and firsthand reporting, Berman details various antidemocratic tactics, such as voter suppression and judicial manipulation, that white conservatives have employed to maintain power amid shifting demographics. He argues that these measures undermine the foundational democratic principles envisioned by the Founding Fathers, while also highlighting the inspiring resistance against these regressive efforts.
