Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents Overview

Isabel Wilkerson’s Caste is an analysis of social structure in America, dating back to the country’s inception, founded on the enslavement of African captives. Wilkerson traces the country’s history to modern times, to show the origins of today’s political turmoil, and compare America’s social structure to those of India and Nazi Germany. Wilkerson draws from her years of experience as a narrative journalist, during which she won the Pulitzer Prize, and as a black woman in America. Wilkerson touches on themes of race, class, violence, and political turmoil.
