Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents
Isabel Wilkerson, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Warmth of Other Suns, examines with Caste the unspoken caste system that has shaped America as a nation, and shows readers how their lives today are still being defined by a hierarchy of human divisions.
Beautifully written, original, and revealing, Caste is an eye-opening story of people and history, and a reexamination of what lies under the surface of modern life today.
“A transformative new framework through which to understand identity and injustice in America.” -- Time
