This is a poignant powerful work of art. It's more than a book. The sections study different incidents in American culture and also includes a bit about France (black, blanc beurre). (That part surprised me.) Rankine does a brilliant job taking an in-depth look at life being black. She says the things that we have all said and describes situations we have all been in. In the light of the horrors that are finally coming out in the US concerning the police and its poor treatment of Black Americans, this book shines more not that, through words and pictures. Each word is a lyrical tribute to Black Americans and all that isn't shouted out on a daily basis. Citizen is definitely a must read for everyone, especially if one day we hope to annihilate racism all together.
