About this book
Isabel Wilkerson examines caste as an enduring structure of power in American life. Linking examples from America, India and Germany, she considers how social ranking shapes institutions, personal encounters, health and politics. Historical accounts and individual experiences support her argument that inherited divisions extend beyond race or class and influence how people understand their place in society.
