"A vote is a kind of prayer for the world we desire for ourselves and our children. Without it, I would not have a historic spot in the United States Senate and we the people would not have a democratic framework in which to fight for the things that matter. At a time when that basic right is under assault by those committed to power at any cost, Michael Eric Dyson and Marc Favreau have written the indispensable book we need right now. Represent is a monumental contribution to our country's perennial quest for justice and the right of every citizen to vote." --Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock

Publisher Marketing:
This electrifying, can't-miss story of American democracy is the "indispensable book we need right now" (Senator Raphael Warnock), "a must read for every American" (The Root), and "a balm for our democracy" (Reverend Al Sharpton).

Renowned thought leader Michael Eric Dyson and widely celebrated author Marc Favreau shine a light on the fight for democratic representation, an ongoing and epic quest to build the democracy promised in the Constitution. Each chapter takes on a new battle between champions of freedom and those who stand in the way of their right to vote--from the American Revolution straight up to the present day as we approach the 2024 presidential election.

Drawing clear lines from then to now, with impeccable research and exhilarating prose, Represent weaves this crucial struggle for democracy into an enthralling American drama that will help readers understand our past, present, and future.
