Violence and Memory in the Multiple Versions of Claudia Rankine’s Citizen
As Claudia Rankine’s 2014 collection Citizen shifts from racialized micro-aggression to police and other white violence against African Americans, the text makes artful use of blank space, with a verso page reading simply “November 23, 2012 / In memory of Jordan Russell Davis” (on the left-hand side) and the recto page bearing only the words “February 15, 2014 / The justice system” along the top of the right-hand page.
