Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents

In Caste, Wilkerson invites you to uncover a veiled caste system that prevails in modern-day America, exploring countless stories from the earliest settlers in America all the way to twenty-first century politics. She examines the constructs of racism, how caste systems are maintained, and the impact these systems have on society. In this Review, we discuss the salient points of the book based on our interpretation of its contents.
