Los Angeles Times, Publishers Weekly, Slate, Time Out New York, Vulture, Refinery 29, and many more . . .A provocative meditation on race, Claudia Rankine's long-awaited follow up to her groundbreaking book Don't Let Me Be Lonely: An American Lyric.Claudia Rankine's bold new book recounts mounting racial aggressions in ongoing encounters in twenty-first-century daily life and in the media. Some of these encounters are slights, seeming slips of the tongue, and some are intentional offensives in the classroom, at the supermarket, at home, on the tennis court with Serena Williams and the soccer field with Zinedine Zidane, online, on TV-everywhere, all the time. The accumulative stresses come to bear on a person's ability to speak, perform, and stay alive. Our addressability is tied to the state of our belonging, Rankine argues, as are our assumptions and expectations of citizenship. In essay, image, and poetry, Citizen is a powerful testament to the individual and collective effects of racism in our contemporary, often named "post-race" society.Book Citizen: An American Lyric Review :
I am reviewing this book specifically with attention to reading in my class called Citizen and Self which is about how we can live better among each other, increase participation in democratic life, and learn how to collaboratively solve problems. I read it with mostly first year college students in Kentucky. Almost all of my students are white. While some students had a hard time with the ideas - and some with the poetry, overall I thought it worked well as long as I reminded them that the book is not directed "at" them but is rather an account of someone's experience and a way to understand the life and challenges that people face in our country. I still had some students who were defensive about the book, or thought that she was being "too sensitive" but by and large the students found it interesting, helpful at seeing a different perspective and helpful in understanding the experiences of African American people in the United States. Most of them said something like, "I had no idea that this was so hard" or "that racism is still so prevalent" or that "the small things every day can be so difficult and become so big and difficult." It was certainly a challenge for them to read but I think overall was helpful. Some of the students were even able to engage with the prose/poems from a literary perspective, talking about the trajectory of the book/poems and the literary devices that she used to draw us in and help the reader see things in a different way. Teaching about race is difficult, but for college students most of whom have never had any exposure to complex ideas about race or racism, short of the basic "you shouldn't treat people of another race badly" this book was a good step in engaging them in the complex and difficult questions of race, justice, fairness, and struggle in the U.S. and also helpful in allowing them to get some practice in reading something with a non-traditional form. Claudia Rankine’s fifth book, 2014’s Citizen: An American Lyric, is a profound meditation on racism expressed through literary fragments. Organized into seven discrete sections, Citizen begins with examples of everyday American racism: the white conflation of black faces that undergirds the “all black people look the same” trope (7), the friend who “early in your friendship, when distracted, would you by the name of her black housekeeper” (7), and the colleague who “tells you his dean is making him hire a person of color when there are so many great writers out there” (10). Throughout the book, Rankine uses informal second-person perspective, blending the “I” of her own experience with the “you” of black Americans more generally while also challenging white readers. For example, Rankine strategically blurs perspective in sentences like “Did that just come out of my mouth, his mouth, your mouth?” (9, 63). By reworking this sentence throughout the book, Rankine repeatedly asks her readers to consider their participation in casual racism.Each section includes one or more accompanying pieces of art that emphasize its theme. For example, section one includes Michael David Murphy’s Jim Crow Rd, a photograph of the suburbs highlighting the process of “white flight” whereby whites flee urban centers and form exclusive suburban enclaves to avoid racial integration. Likewise, section one ends with Kate Clark’s Little Girl, an image of a doe with a black girl’s face superimposed on it. This image draws attention to the dehumanization that blacks routinely face. Section two critiques Hennessy Youngman’s YouTube videos about black artistry and anger and connects these ideas to Serena Williams’s ongoing problems with racist referees and media reporting. Section three highlights the double bind of black invisibility (43) and black hypervisibility (49). One of Rankine’s most shocking examples occurs when a “woman with multiple degrees says, ‘I didn’t know black women could get cancer’” (45), implying black women’s invisibility in healthcare while positioning them as a different species. Such instances are underscored by Glenn Ligon’s Untitled: Four Etchings that visually juxtaposes the phrases “I do not always feel colored” and “I feel most colored when I am thrown against a white background” through strategic repetition across two pages (52-53). Section four identifies the sigh as a coping mechanism that denotes a lack of freedom (60): “Moaning elicits laughter,” she writes, “sighing upsets” (59). Section five posits that “Words work as release—well-oiled doors opening and closing between intention, gesture” (69). Section six presents several situation scripts addressing Hurricane Katrina, the racially motivated murders of Trayvon Martin and James Craig Anderson, the sentencing of the Jena Six, and the ubiquity of racial profiling. This section ends with a critique of white writers’ refusal to write about racial injustice (116, 118) and the lines “because white men can’t / police their imagination / black people are dying” (135). Section seven uses pronoun sequences to return to the question of accountability: “I they he she you turn / only to discover / the encounter” (140). In this final section, Rankine suggests that “The worst injury is feeling you don’t belong so much / to you—(146) and that for black Americans, being a citizen means being subjected to violence (151).Through its mixed-media, fragmentary form, Citizen offers a powerful critique of American racial violence, but its calculated omission of racial hybridity and queers of color makes it seem a bit myopic.
