Citizen: An American Lyric | Claudia Rankine

pick

I‘m not sure audio was the best way to go on this one...after completing audio I saw other reviewers mention stunning art work, and other visuals that enhanced their reading. I was also very distracted as I listened, so strike 2. Strike 3, my inflated expectations. This was a poignant collection/ jumping point for important dialogue and reflection but I wasn‘t blown away. A pick but maybe a book I‘ll need to revisit in print. #Pop21 #BLMreading

Megabooks This has come on and off my TBR so many times! 4y

Cinfhen From others reviews I think print might be better @Kalalalatja I‘m surprised you haven‘t read this yet @Megabooks 4y

Megabooks @Cinfhen yeah, it‘s one of those that fell off my TBR. Maybe I should try the ebook. 🤔 4y

Cinfhen I borrowed my copy through the library @Megabooks 4y

Ain't I a Woman: Black Women and Feminism | bell hooks

Throughout American history, the racial imperialism of whites has supported the custom of scholars using the term “women” even if they are referring solely to the experience of white women. Yet such a custom, whether practiced consciously or unconsciously, perpetuates racism in that it denies the existence of non-white women in American.

charl08 A classic! I remember having this assigned for a seminar and just being so hit by the power of what she was saying. 5y

prowlix @charl08 I agree! I think it‘s still incredibly important and still relevant after so long. 5y

prowlix @Emilymdxn bell hooks has been on my TBR list for an embarrassingly long time! I‘m glad I‘m finally getting to it 5y
