I vey rarely write a review. This is not an easy book to read. The subject matter exists deep within our culture and experience. It is extra-ordinary well documented and written by Isabel Wilkerson who has done a great job explaining Caste and how it affects our lives. I am honored to have read this book and to learn so much about our prejudices and preconceptions of people that are a big part of our lives and our country. By reading at most 1 or 2 chapters a day I was able to think about her thoughts and conclusions and understand how they affect our lives, friendships and families. It is a book that everyone in America should read.
