Isabel Wilkerson, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents (2020)
Just started it. Lucid and imaginative explication of her proposition that racism in America suffers is social rather than biological — akin to the caste system in India. For Wilkerson, Blacks are America’s Untouchables.
Paraphrase of a trenchant comment by Wilkerson: In my book on the Great Migration, The Warmth of Other Suns, the word racism never once appears.
