📖 peek insideCaste: The Origins of Our Discontents
by Isabel Wilkerson
Isabel Wilkerson examines the unspoken hierarchy that has shaped America, arguing that the country is built on a rigid caste system rather than just racial prejudice. By comparing the American social structure to systems in India and Nazi Germany, Wilkerson reveals the invisible pillars that maintain social order and human division. Through deeply researched history and moving personal stories, she challenges readers to recognize how caste influences our daily lives and health. It is a transformative look at the foundations of inequality.
