I listened to the audiobook, and wow. There’s a lot I did t know, plus underlining the bits I did know. Needless to say, I still have a long way to go to eliminate my own biases on my anti racist journey.

A fantastic, well written book.  The author clearly presents her thesis, backs it up with historical and present day data, others' stories and her own personal experiences.  She uses metaphors to illuminate how caste functions and makes it easy to understand.

I have SOOOOO much to say about this book! Very educational, very informative, VERY difficult to read. I cried thinking about what humans are capable of doing to other humans. I appreciate hearing the caste comparisons from different countries, learning our influence on Nazi Germany was very eye opening. Focusing on Caste over Race but talking about how race in America plays a huge role in our caste system.. Its a good book that I think everyone should read.
