Question about the Citizen book!

Rankine switches between several speakers, although the reader may not be informed of these switches at all. In interviews, Rankine says that the stories are collected from a wide range of different people: black, white, male, and female. At times, the speaker also utilizes the second-person narrative voice, indicating that the reader is really the speaker. This method helps Rankine to establish a greater unity of people: instead of telling the story of one person, she hopes to show that this is a collective story for many.
