CASTE: THE ORIGINS OF OUR DISCONTENTS by ISABEL WILKERSON (Hardcover 2020)

Description: OUR LIVES ARE SHAPED BY AN UNSPOKEN CASTE SYSTEM THE AUTHOR OF THIS BOOK, ISABEL WILKERSON, has been described by a critic at The Wall Street Journal as a writer with great narrative and literary power who "humanizes history, giving it emotional and psychological power." Another critic, writing in The Los Angeles Times, said she stowed "memory in amber." Reviews of this kind help to explain the extraordinary impact of this book that portrays a largely unseen phenomenon in American history - a hidden caste system, a rigid hierarchy of human rankings. Ms Wilkerson, Pulitzer-winning author of The Warmth of Other Suns, describes its existence with deep research and stories about real people. THE WORK WAS A CHOICE FOR OPRAH'S INFLUENTIAL BOOK CLUB.
