Just us : an American conversation / Clauda Rankine. by Rankine, Claudia, 1963- Graywolf Press, 2020. Call #: 814.6 R211j Subjects Whites -- Race identity.   Blacks -- Race identity.   American essays -- Black authors.   American essays -- Women authors.   American essays -- 21st century.   United States -- Race relations -- 21st century.   United States -- Social conditions -- 21st century. ISBN:  9781644450215 (hc.) Description:  341 p. : col. ill. ; 24 cm. Summary:  "Just Us is an invitation to discover what it takes to stay in the room together, even and especially in breaching the silence, guilt, and violence that follow direct addresses of whiteness. Rankine's questions disrupt the false comfort of our culture's liminal and private spaces -- the airport, the theater, the dinner party, the voting booth -- where neutrality and politeness live on the surface of differing commitments, beliefs, and prejudices as our public and private lives intersect. This brilliant arrangement of essays, poems, and images includes the voices and rebuttals of others: white men in first class responding to, and with, their white male privilege; a friend's explanation of her infuriating behavior at a play; and women confronting the political currency of dying their hair blond, all running alongside fact-checked notes and commentary that complements Rankine's own text, complicating notions of authority and who gets the last word. Sometimes wry, often vulnerable, and always prescient, Just Us is Rankine's most intimate work, less interested in being right than in being true, being together."--Goodreads. Genre:  Essays.
