Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents by Isabel Wilkerson

challenging informative medium-paced

5.0

A highly informative book that outlines the history of racism in America up to the present day and makes the argument that the embedded, institutionalized mechanisms of racism function like the caste system in India and the framework used in Nazi Germany to commit atrocities and genocide against Jewish people.  An essential foundational text to understanding the deeply embedded nature of racism in America.
