    The content turned into a platform for the authors rant on red vs blue, global warming , abortion , etc.

    The people who need to read this will not. It’s sobered and frightening.

    An incredible book that should be required reading for everyone. “Caste” is not an easy read as the historical truths that are laid bare are as painful as they are inspiring; however, it is a book of hope and love that reminds us of our shared humanity. I was deeply moved and affected by this book and am grateful to the author for opening my eyes to social realities that I had never fully considered. I am a 60 year old white male born in the UK so my life experiences and subsequent viewpoints are massively influenced by the random reality of my birth; I honestly believe reading this book has raised my consciousness such that I am hopefully a slightly better person than I was beforehand.

  • A Book That Should Be Read By All

    As heartbreaking and beautifully told story of the world many of us live in without knowing it. That none of us are immune from what tears us rather than binds us. That with confidence, courage and compassion we can see that we are all that is. And we belong together.
  • Much food for thought and seeds of discussion

    I read this book because I had previously read “The Warmth of Other Suns”, which gave me much to think about. “Caste” provides much food for thought, as well as seeds of discussion. I am a member of what Ms Wilkerson calls the dominant class, but I can relate to much of what is in this book. Having grown up in Chicago, and read both “Warmth of Others Suns” and Michelle Obama’s “Becoming”, I realized how much we had in common but, because of caste, we’re prevented from learning from each other. I’m aware, too, that caste is still a big factor in American society. As I finish this book Governor Ron DeSantis is attempting to ban African American History in Florida high schools. That he would do that is a demonstration of the arrogance of the upper caste. I thank Isabel Wilkerson for writing this book and wish that every American would read it and ponder our common humanity.
  • Powerful book!
