It is not alone. In such partisan conditions, how can humans best approach one another across our differences?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTaking 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eJust Us\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWry, vulnerable and prescient, this is Rankine's most intimate work, less interested in being right than in being true, and being together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9780141994086\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAn American Conversation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Libri","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9780141994086","offer_id":39414265446493,"sku":"9780141994086","price":16.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/a307be00-6321-4ad3-84bc-577df15de0b9.jpg?v=1778904737","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/just-us-an-american-conversation-von-claudia-rankine-1","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
