This is an essay and, I think, a speech. It mixes memories of Pinckney's upbringing with the history of voting and the politics (and politicians) surrounding it over the years. There is just enough information to make the point, but the "book" is too short for detail. It wouldn't be useful for someone completely unfamiliar with voting politics, but is another perspective for someone who has knowledge.
I actually most enjoyed the political portions where Pinckney got excitable. This was written in 2014 and while that is objectively recent it was completely different political world. It's crazy to think back.
