Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents

Author: Isabel Wilkerson

For each of the books on the list, I am not saying much. I'll leave it to you to Google to find out more. There were so many books that could have been on the list, but we made a choice of a few and gave them to select friends and family. I was hoping I could figure out a way to make them all digitally available for all friends and family, but that may be something we have to figure out for next year ;-).

From NYTimes Review by Dwight Garner:

It’s an extraordinary document, one that strikes me as an instant American classic and almost certainly the keynote nonfiction book of the American century thus far. It made the back of my neck prickle from its first pages, and that feeling never went away.
