"Beyond race, class, and other factors, there is a powerful caste system that influences peoples lives and behavior. Isabel Wilkerson links the caste systems of America, India, and Nazi Germany, exploring the eight pillars that underlie caste systems across civilizations. Wilkerson tells riveting stories about people to illustrate the ways that the insidious undertow of caste is experienced every day. She also points to ways America can move beyond the artificial and destructive separations of human divisions toward hope in our common humanity." --back cover.
