We agreed that Citizen is around an 8 on the non-protest to protest scale. This is because we do not think that the ideas are centralized on purely protest rhetoric, but rather, it can be interpreted as an art and means for cultural awareness. Furthermore, the purpose is not directly clear - the book does not necessarily call out for change, but rather it is a compilation of short stories informing its audience of discrimination.
The pictures are pieces of evidence that are used to help bring out the aspect of protest and discriminatory acts, rather than simply acting as a visual medium to Rankine's argument.
