Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents
by Isabel Wilkerson
Introduction
Book Overview
Caste examines how America is built on an invisible, race‑based caste system that shapes inequities in society. Wilkerson draws comparisons with caste systems in India and Nazi Germany and argues the U.S.’s racial hierarchy functions as a caste structure.
Caste is the bones, race the skin.
Isabel Wilkerson
