Pulitzer Prize winner and National Humanities Medal recipient Isabel Wilkerson is the author of two New York Times bestsellers: the critically acclaimed Caste, and National Book Critics Circle Award-winner The Warmth of Other Suns. Hear her speak on Zoom this Thursday. Read more. See Wilkerson's talks and interviews on video for free. The Book: Caste, invites us to discover the inner workings of an American hierarchy that goes far beyond the confines of race, class, or gender. Steeping her stories in empathy, insight, and first-person accounts, Wilkerson layers analysis with story to explore the structure of an unspoken system of human ranking and reveals how our lives are still restricted by what divided us centuries ago. Buy your copy of Caste at Amazon, B&N, Target.
