Isabel Wilkerson
Penguin Random House
A masterful portrait of the unseen phenomenon of caste in America. Wilkerson explores how America is and has always been shaped by a hidden caste system that influences people's lives and behaviors and the nation's fate. Caste points forward to ways America can move beyond the artificial and destructive separations of human divisions toward hope in our common humanity.
