About the book
Isabel Wilkerson compares the caste systems of India, Nazi Germany, and the United States to reveal deep and often invisible structures of racial hierarchy that have shaped American history. Far from treating race as merely a matter of individual prejudice, Wilkerson argues that the caste system represents an institutionalized structure that defines human worth and determines opportunity.
With meticulous research, moving narratives, and penetrating historical analysis, this book redefines how we understand systemic inequality in the US and offers paths toward genuine social transformation.
