Historia
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.

I was really torn about whether to get this book because I had originally been seeking out a purely “escapist”/“for pleasure” type of book. While this book is definitely not that, I was moved by the importance of this book, along with others’ reviews, which were probably the biggest reason I picked it, so thank you all. I feel like I learned so much from this book. I will also say that for anyone who thinks this might be boring, I get distracted/bored easily, but this book did not bore me in the slightest. On the contrary, I would find myself outside the grocery store in my car just listening—having lost track of time due to how interesting this book is. I will admit I am fascinated by history and by good story-telling and that is what this book has in spades. Also, her voice is extremely easy to listen to.
