Castes: The Origins of Inequality in the 21st Century
14.99 €
America, India and the Third Reich - what do these countries have in common? In each, a unique caste system emerged, dividing people into lower and higher classes, and paving the way for modern chauvinist movements around the world. In her book, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Isabel Wilkerson examines the ways in which people are oppressed and restricted on the basis of their nationality, skin color, or place of birth, and shows how this damages both their quality of life and the economy as a whole. Her book proves that even though progress has been made, the caste system still exists, denying people equal rights and opportunities and killing the human potential inherent in them. Woven from many human stories of injustice, anger, and pain, Castes illustrates the failure of the artificial rules and prejudices that led to the Holocaust, Gandhi protests, and Jim Crow laws - and, in the twenty-first century, to large-scale racial protests in America. It is also an antidote to the ideas of chauvinism and xenophobia that still dominate the minds of people around the world.
