In her first book after her celebrated American trilogy, presented with full-color visuals, Rankine shifts into sustained narrative, memory, criticism, and essay to offer her most personal and emotionally resonant writing yet. Triage follows the turbulent friendship between two composite characters, the narrator and the theorist, self-identified sisters struggling to define their wounded histories and their shared but separate lives. During college, they invent a game of collapse: Every time they see each other, they have to stop and fall to the ground. As their kinship continues off and on for decades, "collapse" takes on new meanings that are seen and felt in the violence of their pasts, artworks depicting couches where someone might ease their exhaustion, the ongoing devastation in Gaza, and the antagonism of their conversation and their love for each other. Triage is an argument for the necessity of grieving and the demand for action in our time of relentless loss. "No matter our posture," Rankine writes, "we are all among the rubble." This is a book for those complicated but beautiful friendships that we come to rely on to unsettle us, to make us better"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1492375</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1492375</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rankine, Claudia]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1492375057</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781644454008/MC.GIF&amp;client=pricp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just Us]]></title><description><![CDATA["At home and in government, contemporary America finds itself driven by a culture war in which aggression and defensiveness alike are on the rise. It is not alone. In such partisan conditions, how can humans best approach one another across our differences? Taking the study of whiteness and white supremacy as a guiding light, Claudia Rankine explores a series of real encounters with friends and strangers - each disrupting the false comfort of spaces where our public and private lives intersect, like the airport, the theatre, the dinner party and the voting booth - and urges us to enter into the conversations which could offer the only humane pathways through this moment of division. Just Us is an invitation to discover what it takes to stay in the room together, and to breach the silence, guilt and violence that surround whiteness. Brilliantly arranging essays, images and poems along with the voices and rebuttals of others, it counterpoints Rankine's own text with facing-page notes and commentary, and closes with a bravura study of women confronting the political and cultural implications of dyeing their hair blonde." --]]></description><link>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1430520</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1430520</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rankine, Claudia]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1430520057</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>An American Conversation</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781644450215/MC.GIF&amp;client=pricp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The White Card]]></title><description><![CDATA["A play about the imagined fault line between black and white lives by Claudia Rankine, the author of Citizen. The White Card stages a conversation that is both informed and derailed by the black/white American drama. The scenes in this one-act play, for all the characters' disagreements, stalemates, and seeming impasses, explore what happens if one is willing to stay in the room when it is painful to bear the pressure to listen and the obligation to respond."--Publisher's description.]]></description><link>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1407027</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1407027</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rankine, Claudia]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1407027057</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Play in One Act</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781555978396/MC.GIF&amp;client=pricp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Citizen]]></title><description><![CDATA["Claudia Rankine's bold new book recounts mounting racial aggressions in ongoing encounters in twenty-first-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 accumulative 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. In essay, image, and poetry, Citizen is a powerful testament to the individual and collective effects of racism in our contemporary, often named 'post-race' society."--from publisher's description.]]></description><link>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1352846</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1352846</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rankine, Claudia]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2014 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1352846057</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>An American Lyric</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781555976903/MC.GIF&amp;client=pricp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
