In this brilliant book, Isabel Wilkerson gives us a masterful portrait of an unseen phenomenon in America as she explores, through an immersive, deeply researched narrative and stories about real people, how America today and throughout its history has been shaped by a hidden caste system, a rigid hierarchy of human rankings. Beautifully written, original, and revealing, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents is an eye-opening story of people and history, and a reexamination of what lies under the surface of ordinary lives and of American life today.

A Convincing Message
Revisado: 08-27-22
The application of the caste system to racism is both repetitive and wildly effective. At a superficial level I grew tired of the rhetorical device, but at a deeper level I knew Isabella Wilkerson was using the tools of the oppressor against the oppressor. Each new example is uniquely different than the previous example, and, stitched together, the evidence is overwhelming.

Four hundred years after Shakespeare's death, Keenan's smart and passionate memoir brings new life to his work. With 14 of his plays as a springboard, she explores the many facets of love and sexuality - from desire and communication to fetish and fantasy. In A Midsummer Night's Dream, Keenan unmasks Helena as a sexual masochist - like Jillian herself. In Macbeth, she examines criminalized sexual identities and the dark side of "privacy".

The Paraphilic Paradigm
Revisado: 07-11-20
Do you like pop culture that runs parallel to your life and sheds light on your fears and discomforts by leveraging awkward and humorous situations? Maybe, for you it's a sit com or favorite movie. For Jillian Keenan Keenan it's the works of Shakespeare! And the fantasies and situations she's negotiating are deeply sexual in a way that a certain group of people will understand immediately. The intended audience has shared an innate, lifelong, fetish.
