Castes: The Origins of Inequality in the 21st Century
14.99 €
America, India, and the Third Reich—what do these countries have in common? Each developed its own unique caste system, dividing people into lower and upper classes, setting the stage for modern chauvinistic movements around the world. In her book, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Isabel Wilkerson examines the ways in which people are oppressed and restricted based on their nationality, skin color, or place of birth, and shows the damage this causes to their quality of life and the economy as a whole. Her book proves that even despite progress, the caste system still exists, depriving people of equal rights and opportunities, killing their inherent human potential. Weaving together a multitude of human stories, laced with injustice, anger, and pain, Caste vividly exposes the failure of artificial rules and prejudices that led to the Holocaust, Gandhi's protests, Jim Crow laws—and, in the 21st century, to widespread racial unrest in America. It is also an antidote to the ideas of chauvinism and xenophobia that still grip the minds of people around the world.
