Claudia Rankine
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.

i have no ideaAny 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
