Description
Citizen An American Lyric by Claudia Rankine is a powerful collection of prose poems that examines the experience of race and racism in Western society. Through sharp vignettes of everyday discrimination and prejudice, Rankine weaves together essays, images, and poetry to form a testament to the individual and collective effects of racism. The book is a moving and critical exploration of the ways in which racism impacts lives, from the linguistic violence of language to the physical violence that has affected many individuals. With its unique blend of prose, poetry, and image, Citizen offers a powerful critique of an ostensibly 'post-race' society. This collection is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of racism and its impact on individuals and communities.
