SUMMARY:Book Discussion: "Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents" By Isabel Wilkerson (Online)
DESCRIPTION:Caste points to our entire social structure as an unrecognized caste system. Wilkerson agrees that America is indeed racist. She says that we tend to refer to slavery as a “sad\, dark chapter” in America when in fact it lasted for hundreds of years—but\, in order to maintain a social order and an “economy whose bottom gear was torture\,” it was necessary to give Blacks the lowest possible status. Whites\, in turn\, got top status. In-between came the middle castes of Asians\, Latinos\, indigenous people\, and immigrants of African descent. Such a caste system allowed generations of whites to live under the same assumptions of inequality. \nPresented by the Ethical Action Committee. Join link will be provided via email.
