Linking the caste systems of America, India, and Nazi Germany, Wilkerson explores eig Beyond race, class, or other factors, there is a powerful caste system that influences peopleвЂ™s lives and behavior and the nationвЂ™s fate. It is about power-which groups have it and which do not.вЂќ 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. The hierarchy of caste is not about feelings or morality.

But this wasnвЂ™t your typical book club вЂ“ there was no wine and cheese, plush furniture or superficial chat about recent holidays. When Ann Walmsley was asked to take part in a book club in a menвЂ™s prison, she was initially anxious: after a violent mugging a few years before, could she really cope being surrounded by violent criminals? Luckily, curiosity got the better of her, and she signed up for eighteen months of meetings with heavily tattooed inmates, talking about books ranging from The Grapes of Wrath to The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.
