The White Card: A Play by Claudia Rankine
4.0
Excellent and cutting dissection of the white savior complex as born of guilt but rejecting responsibility.
I'm glad I read this play rather than watching it because it requires an understanding of contemporary art that I did not have at the outset of my reading. Now I understand a little more about the art scene, especially as it is constructed as a white sphere where images of black bodies are consumed. It's not just the art world that operates this way, though.
I'd love to see it someday, especially the very end of the play.
