GIVING UP IS UNFORGIVABLE: A Manual for Keeping a Democracy is a clarion call to action. It puts our current political crisis in historical context--using relevant Supreme Court cases, the Federalist Papers, and the long arc of American history--and lays out a vision for where we go next. Vance's message is hopeful at its heart, even as it acknowledges the daunting challenges that lie ahead. Joyce Vance is the constitutional law professor you never knew you needed, explaining the legal context, the political history, and the practical reasons that the rule of law still matters, while also empowering you to do something--from the small (that conversation you've been meaning to have with your uncle or volunteering for your favorite political cause) to the big (starting a grassroots movement or running for political office).
