Citizen: An American Lyric by Claudia Rankine
5.0
challenging dark informative sad medium-paced

I can’t begin to explain how astounding this is other than by urging everyone who isn’t Black to read this.

The energy required to present, to react, to assert is accompanied by visceral disappointment: a disappointment in the sense that no amount of visibility will alter the ways in which one is perceived.
