Claudia Rankine: Black on White

“Anti-black racism is at the core. It is part of what makes America, America,” says the award-winning American poet and writer Claudia Rankine. In this powerful interview, she speaks openly about contemporary America – about Trump, whiteness as “a valued property”, and the inherent anti-black racism.

Claudia Rankine was interviewed by Synne Rifbjerg in August 2019 at the Louisiana Literature festival in Denmark.
