Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents, Isabel Wilkerson
“I am reading a brilliant book called Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents by Isabel Wilkerson, which should be required reading for anyone who wants to make sense of the BlackLivesMatter movement and challenge themselves (and their own organization) to respond appropriately. It argues that caste—not skin color—is the best way to make sense of the horrors of racism in America, since even well-meaning people accept caste structures implicitly in their lives, unless challenged.”
