In \u003ci\u003eCaste\u003c\/i\u003e, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Isabel Wilkerson gives an astounding portrait of this hidden phenomenon. Linking America, India and Nazi Germany, Wilkerson reveals how our world has been shaped by caste - and how its rigid, arbitrary hierarchies still divide us today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith clear-sighted rigour, Wilkerson unearths the eight pillars that connect caste systems across civilizations, and demonstrates how our own era of intensifying conflict and upheaval has arisen as a consequence of caste. Weaving in stories of real people, she shows how its insidious undertow emerges every day; she documents its surprising health costs; and she explores its effects on culture and politics. Finally, Wilkerson points forward to the ways we can - and must - move beyond its artificial divisions, towards our common humanity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeautifully written and deeply original, \u003ci\u003eCaste\u003c\/i\u003e is an eye-opening examination of what lies beneath the surface of ordinary lives.
