Just Us: An American Conversation by Claudia Rankine

5.0

An essential read for anyone. Overall it is a call to engage with whiteness and interrogate it to see what whiteness is in all facets of life. Time and time again we see examples where people across divides will all simultaneously crumple when whiteness is explicitly named. This book picks up the crumpled white paper and smooths it out to see what the wrinkles have to say. I suspect this will be the second book this year that I'll have to buy to reread and loan to people.
