Caste

Average rating4.4
Insightful and challenging read. My understanding of caste has been expanded and this book is one that made me think about my understanding of society, freedom, and justice.
----
How you would treat someone as lesser, beat them, kill them and never blink an eye. Often I hear the question of "how could this have happened?" or even worse the poorest defense of these actions (example: that pragerU pro-slavery videos) and this book really untangles everything in an understandable and no-hold back way through the USA, Germany, and India histories. This is essential reading to completely cement the ideas/understanding of what caste is, how we have participated in it, and recognize it.
