Product Information

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * OPRAH'S BOOK CLUB PICK * "An instant American classic and almost certainly the keynote nonfiction book of the American century thus far."--Dwight Garner, The New York Times 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. #1 NONFICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR: Time ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The Washington Post, The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, The Boston Globe, O: The Oprah Magazine, NPR, Bloomberg, The Christian Science Monitor, New York Post, The New York Public Library, Fortune, Smithsonian Magazine, Marie Claire, Slate, Library Journal, Kirkus Reviews Winner of the Carl Sandberg Literary Award * Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize * National Book Award Longlist * National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist * Dayton Literary Peace Prize Finalist * PEN/John Kenneth Galbraith Award for Nonfiction Finalist * PEN/Jean Stein Book Award Longlist * Kirkus Prize Finalist "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, and beautifully written 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 outcasting 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. 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 American life today.

Reviews
"It should be at the top of every American's reading list. " --Chicago Tribune "This enthralling exposé deserves a wide and impassioned readership." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Similar to her previous book, the latest by Wilkerson is destined to become a classic, and is urgent, essential reading for all." --Library Journal (starred review) Praise for Isabel Wilkerson "Wilkerson's work is the missing puzzle piece of our country's history." -- The American Prospect "[Wilkerson's] closeness with, and profound affection for, her subjects reflect her deep immersion in their stories and allow the reader to share that connection." --Janet Maslin, The New York Times "Wilkerson combines impressive research . . . with great narrative and literary power. . . . She humanizes history, giving it emotional and psychological depth." --John Stauffer, The Wall Street Journal "What she's done. . . is stow memory in amber." --Lynell George, Los Angeles Times "What Wilkerson urges . . . isn't argument at all; it's compassion. Hush, and listen." --Jill Lepore, The New Yorker, Praise for Isabel Wilkerson "Wilkerson's work is the missing puzzle piece of our country's history." -- The American Prospect "[Wilkerson's] closeness with, and profound affection for, her subjects reflect her deep immersion in their stories and allow the reader to share that connection." --Janet Maslin, The New York Times "Wilkerson combines impressive research . . . with great narrative and literary power. . . .

    Encyclopedic presentation of race as caste.

    It deservedly won the Pulitzer. It is an encyclopedic survey of the author's identifying racism (especially in the South iif slavery and Jim Crow, then was copied by the German Nazis) and with the lowest caste in India, the latter less convincing to me. I ended up skimming when she would give not one example, but three for everything. Maybe because I have lived it since the early days of civil rights movement, I could skim a lot of the material, chosen for emotional impact.

    A Clever Slant on an Emotional Topic That Doesn't Really Make Sense.

    Isabel Wilkerson uses her very readable writing style to attempt to compare Nazi Germany, and India's religious social structure to America's deliberate and destructive "Caste" system, created by white Americans for their benefit. As with so many black authors, the first 160 pages are all about pre-1950 history and slavery, as if this is somehow justification for behavior today of ANY people. Unfortunately, the notion that Blacks in America are oppressed by White people doesn't really make sense. Rather than being discriminated against, American Blacks enjoy special rights, privileges, and advantages that are unavailable to White Americans. These advantages extend into every aspect of America’s public life and can be traced to legislation passed back in the 1960s. “A system of racial ...

    Not compelling presentation, but a very necessary read

    Everyone in US, especially white people, should read it. Much of the information will already be known by informed people, but it is presented in a new context and will therefore be processed differently than when you read it before. But the presentation does not, for me, make compelling reading like the author's book about the great migration. I had to force myself to return to this book each day, but the read was worth the effort.

    A must read!!

    The book Caste, by Isabel Wilkerson, was inviting, informative, captivating and honest. The writer captures and explains moments in time that history books either scanned over or left out completely. She provides missing information and fills the void in history that left African American's clueless to why negative events continues to happen decade after decade. The book is engaging and her facts were supported by references throughout the chapters. I love this book and gained so much knowledge by reading it.

    CASTE: thoughtful and thought provoking

    Extremely well written, thoughtful and thought provoking. The author uses metaphors and event descriptions to examine out history--and that of the wider world--to demonstrate how our current political turmoil, trend toward authoritarianism, and acts of inter-racial brutality are rooted in our past.
