       Title: Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents
       Author: Isabel Wilkerson
       *************************************************************
       Book Descriptions: The Pulitzer Prize–winning, bestselling
       author of The Warmth of Other Suns examines the unspoken caste
       system that has shaped America and shows how our lives today are
       still defined by a hierarchy of human divisions.“As we go about
       our daily lives, caste is the wordless usher in a darkened
       theater, flashlight cast down in the aisles, guiding us to our
       assigned seats for a performance. The hierarchy of caste is not
       about feelings or morality. It is about power—which groups have
       it and which do not.”In this brilliant book, Isabel Wilkerson
       gives us a masterful portrait of an unseen phenomenon in America
       as she explores, through an immersive, deeply researched
       narrative and stories about real people, how America today and
       throughout its history has been shaped by a hidden caste system,
       a rigid hierarchy of human rankings.Beyond race, class, or other
       factors, there is a powerful caste system that influences
       people’s lives and behavior and the nation’s fate. Linking the
       caste systems of America, India, and Nazi Germany, Wilkerson
       explores eight pillars that underlie caste systems across
       civilizations, including divine will, bloodlines, stigma, and
       more. Using riveting stories about people—including Martin
       Luther King, Jr., baseball’s Satchel Paige, a single father and
       his toddler son, Wilkerson herself, and many others—she shows
       the ways that the insidious undertow of caste is experienced
       every day. She documents how the Nazis studied the racial
       systems in America to plan their out-cast of the Jews; she
       discusses why the cruel logic of caste requires that there be a
       bottom rung for those in the middle to measure themselves
       against; she writes about the surprising health costs of caste,
       in depression and life expectancy, and the effects of this
       hierarchy on our culture and politics. Finally, she points
       forward to ways America can move beyond the artificial and
       destructive separations of human divisions, toward hope in our
       common humanity.Beautifully written, original, and revealing,
       Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents is an eye-opening story of
       people and history, and a reexamination of what lies under the
       surface of ordinary lives and of America life today.
