ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"Caste: The Lies That Divide Us" by Isabel Wilkerson explores the insidious impact of caste systems, not just in America, but globally. The book examines how societies construct artificial hierarchies, assigning value to human beings based on arbitrary characteristics. Through historical accounts and personal narratives, Wilkerson reveals the profound consequences of caste, including dehumanization, economic exploitation, and social division. It analyzes the eight pillars that underlie caste systems. As the story unfolds, Wilkerson challenges readers to confront the unspoken realities of caste and consider a path toward a more equitable world.
