Citizen : an American lyric / Claudia Rankine. by Rankine, Claudia, 1963- Graywolf Press, c2014.

ISBN:  9781555976903 (pbk.) 1555976905 (pbk.) Description:  169 p. : ill. (some color) ; 21 cm. Notes:  Poems and essays. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (pages 167-168). Summary:  "This book-length poem about race and the imagination 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. Claudia Rankine was born in Jamaica and grew up in Kingston and New York. She teaches at Pomona College in Claremont, California."--Provided by publisher. Genre:  American poetry. Essays.
