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