Just Us: An American Conversation by Claudia Rankine

5.0

This work weaves together an examination of whiteness, race, and identity. The questions asked throughout the work highlight the complications and nuance of experiences and systems. It is fascinating to see how white individuals react to Rankine’s questions and how ultimately white comfort is prioritized over the survival and thriving of many. I love the form of this book and how many facts are presented with a combination of text and imagery. This is such an important read particularly during our current racial climate in America.
