Citizen: An American Lyric by Claudia Rankine

challenging dark reflective medium-paced

5.0

Citizen explores race, rage and erasure of Black Americans through Rankine's beautiful prose. She centers microaggressions and what it's like to live constantly in contrast to the violence and discrimination of systemic racism. I found it best to read this as slowly and attentively as I could, so as to really soak up and experience the words. A very necessary read.
