Citizen: An American Lyric by Claudia Rankine

challenging dark informative reflective fast-paced

4.0

An insightful, quick read that blends essay elements with poetry prose. Claudia Rankine forces the reader to consider the various forms of racism, oppression, and prejudice that a black person must endure, from micro aggressions to physical violence. I read this as an academic reading requirement, and I am so grateful. It was such a thought-provoking read for me. Highly recommended!
