Claudia Rankine's bold new audiobook recounts mounting racial aggressions in ongoing encounters in 21st-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 cumulative 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.

Listening to this made me angry and uncomfortable, perhaps because, as a white person, it's easy for me to elect to see or acknowledge racism, and this book puts you (literally by use of the second person) at the center of it, as the victim, the witness, the occasional perpetrator. You can't ignore it. To make the reader feel even a fraction of what people of color feel on a daily basis is such a huge accomplishment. Beautiful work.

So. Important.

Fascinating style and work. I found myself repeatedly saying, "Yes, I have felt and experienced this, too. I just never knew how to articulate it in a comprehensible way!"

Very insightful. Affirming. Ended too quickly!

A really true reflection of what being black in America is like. Invisible,feared, belittled, not appreciated for who you are! And how we cope!

Insightful! Riveting!

What made the experience of listening to Citizen the most enjoyable?

Good narrator,

What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative?

It provoked deeper thought

Have you listened to any of Allyson Johnson’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

no

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

i have no idea

Any additional comments?

I went out and purchased this book after I read it because I heard the way it was written on the page was relevant to reading it. I agree that it was, but I also enjoyed listening to it. However, I have listened to other books that were written to be read off the page and it would be helpful to be forewarned that there are relevant photos involved or it's a graphic novel, etc. Thank you for providing this book.

great book

Reading poetry is often a private experience, the voice we hear is our own; but Johnson nails it. Her performance conveys Rankine's subtle use of language and powerful cultural critique. I loved the section on Serena Williams which made me want to scream, laugh and cry all at once.

Powerfully moving all round.

Wow! Rankine’s writing style is perfect for this book. It’s like a stream of consciousness of the Black “professional’s” experience in America. A constant bombardment of racial slights and overt racism that leaves you exhausted, confused and ultimately emotionless.

I can’t say enough about this book other than buy it!

“It wasn’t a match, it was a lesson.”

I could not stop listening, even as the beautiful and lyrical way Rankine tells us these painful and real stories. My soul hurt, but as a white woman, I gained a bigger picture of understanding.

Beautiful and heart wrenching at the same time.

This was required reading for my son during his Sophomore year of High School last school year in a private college-prep school in Hawaii. He found it powerful and eye-opening and recommended it to both my husband and me. I read it in one sitting today and found myself wishing this was required reading not just for every high school student, but for every American.

Every American Should Read / Listen
