Caste

By Isabel Wilkerson

Selected by Revathi AdvaithiThis was one of the most celebrated books of 2020, and for good reason. Isabel Wilkerson’s brilliant book reveals the hidden caste system that has governed American society for centuries, reaching even beyond race and class. Her work delves into systems of social stratification in America, India, and Nazi Germany, tying all together to examine the castes impacting people across the world. Perhaps most importantly, she shares a path forward for Americans ready to dismantle these harmful systems of oppression. A revelatory and inspiring work.
