A juxtaposition of astute reflections on the tide of racism and white supremacy that permeates every nook and cranny of the U.S. and beyond. Rankine wields deft and evocative poetic lyricism that captures vignettes from the cultural landscape.

A poignant, thought-provoking, and no-nonsense indictment of racism, misogyny, and their intersection, in America. Rankine does not mince words. 

This piece is a sort of extended poem which illustrates her experience as a Black woman in America, including micro-aggressions carried out against herself, her friends, and Black female athletes like Serena Williams who faced casual racism in their sport that had huge consequences.

I am eager to read this book again, as to soak up even more of Rankine’s words. She is an icon.
