- Beyond race, class, or other factors, there is a powerful caste system that influences people's lives and behavior and the nation's fate. Linking the caste systems of America, India, and Nazi Germany, Wilkerson explores eight pillars that underlie caste systems across civilizations, including divine will, bloodlines, stigma, and more. Using riveting stories about people—including Martin Luther King, Jr., baseball's Satchel Paige, a single father and his toddler son, Wilkerson herself, and many others—she shows the ways that the insidious undertow of caste is experienced every day. She documents how the Nazis studied the racial systems in America to plan their outcasting of the Jews; she discusses why the cruel logic of caste requires that there be a bottom rung for those in the middle to measure themselves against; she writes about the surprising health costs of caste, in depression and life expectancy, and the effects of this hierarchy on our culture and politics. Finally, she points forward to ways America can move beyond the artificial and destructive separations of human divisions, toward hope in our common humanity.

Call it a dog-whistle if you want but the combo is pretty blatant. For reference, blackshirts were the action squads in Mussolini's Italy.

I read The Warmth of Other Suns first, and became interested in following up with her other works bought Caste. After the first 20-30 interesting pages, it became a disappointment, repetitive, and kind of rant-ish.
I have to agree with you as far as the connections that the author tries to make through out the book. I think what the author asserting that all of the experiences that are described in the book have the same root is a disservice to the larger conversations about them.

You should keep in mind this criticism is coming from someone named "Blackshirt."

I guess I can now post deals on The Turner Diaries and Mein Kampf.
FYI - HItler's symbol was Hakenkreuz not Swastika. They didn't want to associate evil with the cross, so they used a symbol of peace to symbolize their sins.
Also, the Chai latte is not Chai. Peace <3
Rare and rarer that something can be seriously critiqued that is tooting its own race horn or not be dismissed by racist idiots or glorified by guilty lib-simps.
I did both my graduate theses on caste and this book would be mocked if everyone wasn't expected to act like a guilty white liberal.
Great if you want journalism majors to handle scholarly material.
I prefer to read books from people who are rigorous not a laugh track with a pencil.
Or don't.
More importantly. Once you make your decision...piss off again. https://i.slickdeals.net/images/smilies2/thanks.gif

Ok, sounds like you may actually have some academic background on the topic. What is your problem with this book? Serious question, I haven't read it.
