I read The White Card by Claudia Rankine yesterday, all in one sitting, for my #toreadinaday book of the weekend.

This play depicts a dinner hosted by a white couple who want to buy the latest collection of art by a Black artist. I found it really powerful in that just by portraying a dinner party and the imagined conversations in the first act, I was left with so much to reflect on. I’m left thinking about white saviorism, appropriation, microaggressions, white people commodifying blackness, and more. There is so much to unpack in this slim work. I would have loved to see it live, but reading it is still so impactful. If you haven’t read Rankine yet, what are you waiting for?
