In this moving and intelligent collection of prose, Claudia Rankine examines the experience of race and racism in Western society through perceptive scenes of everyday discrimination and prejudice, as well as larger meditations on the violence—whether linguistic or physical—that has affected the lives of people like Serena Williams, Zinedine Zidane, Mark Duggan, and others.
"Citizen" weaves essays, images, and poetry to form a powerful testimony on the individual and collective effects of racism in a seemingly "post-racial" society.
