Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents by Isabel Wilkerson

dark emotional informative reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

A very sobering look at the caste system in the United States and similarities between that of India and Nazi Germany. An excellent blend of storytelling about those affected by the system, the authors own experiences, and facts/data that is related. I was horrified to read about it a racist incident/situation that took place in my own town…that lasted for decades. We all have a lot of work to do in understanding our history, lamenting, and working for change.
