What if race is not the whole story? Pulitzer Prize winner Isabel Wilkerson argues that an unspoken, powerful force shapes America: a hidden caste system. In her masterwork, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents, she uncovers the rigid hierarchy that has defined our nation for centuries. Drawing stunning parallels to the systems of India and Nazi Germany, Wilkerson provides a revolutionary framework for understanding the divisions that plague us today. This book doesn’t just explain our history; it redefines it.
