Caste is a powerful and eye opening book about the deeplt ingrained caste system in India which shows the impact on people’s lives.
Through stories It shows it less as a social construct and more of a force that determines people’s resources and opportunities.
It challenged me to look at my own biases and help make a more just and equitable society.

A book that is speaking truth to the realities that every day Americans experience. To inform others how America has structured its cities and lives. Every American should read this book.

Excellent look into how America’s unique system of slavery created a caste system in the United States. My favorite parts were two extended metaphors (one about medical history and the other about an old house) how and why one should study shameful parts of history.
