Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents

by Isabel Wilkerson
RM70.40 MYR
Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents
Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents

Incisive exploration of America's hidden social hierarchy.

If you've ever pondered the deep-rooted divisions in American society, "Caste" is an enlightening read. Isabel Wilkerson's meticulous research connects past and present, uncovering the foundational yet often invisible caste system underpinning American life. Through compelling stories and historical insights, Wilkerson invites a reflection on how unseen structures shape power, behavior, and the collective fate. It’s both a deep dive into sociology and a necessary conversation starter for anyone interested in the crossroads of history, identity, and justice.
