ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“Caste” by Isabel Wilkerson explores the deeply ingrained social hierarchies that shape societies, focusing on the concept of caste as a rigid system of human division. Drawing comparisons between the caste systems in India, Nazi Germany, and the United States, Wilkerson examines how race and class have been used to justify inequality and oppression. Through historical analysis and personal stories, the book reveals how caste systems dehumanize individuals and perpetuate social divisions. Wilkerson emphasizes the lasting impact of these systems on both personal identity and collective society, urging readers to confront and dismantle the structures of caste.
