Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents by Isabel Wilkerson

challenging emotional informative reflective slow-paced

5.0

If I could give this book more than 5 stars, I would. Caste explained for me so many elements of American society that I had sensed below the surface but never totally understood. This is the education that every American needs, particularly white or upper-caste Americans.  It is one of the most informative, moving, and necessary books I’ve ever read.
