The poet Juvenal suggests the effects of empire on every day Roman citizens had turned them to carelessness. Without a vote‚ the people didn’t have a say‚ and as a consequence‚ they entered into a state of redundancy.

I argue that Claudia Rankine in her book Citizen is attempting to expose the injustices African Americans suffer due to the prejudices placed on them because of their fictive kinship. Fictive kinship as defined by Melissa V. Harris-Perry in her book Sister Citizen is‚ “African Americans’ sense of connection to other black people” (116).
