It is about power - which groups have it and which do not'</i><br><br>Beyond race or class, our lives are defined by a powerful, unspoken system of divisions. In <i>Caste</i>, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Isabel Wilkerson gives an astounding portrait of this hidden phenomenon. Linking America, India and Nazi Germany, Wilkerson reveals how our world has been shaped by caste - and how its rigid, arbitrary hierarchies still divide us today.<br><br>With clear-sighted rigour, Wilkerson unearths the eight pillars that connect caste systems across civilizations, and demonstrates how our own era of intensifying conflict and upheaval has arisen as a consequence of caste. Weaving in stories of real people, she shows how its insidious undertow emerges every day; she documents its surprising health costs; and she explores its effects on culture and politics. Finally, Wilkerson points forward to the ways we can - and must - move beyond its artificial divisions, towards our common humanity.<br><br>Beautifully written and deeply original, <i>Caste</i> is an eye-opening examination of what lies beneath the surface of ordinary lives. No one can afford to ignore the moral clarity of its insights, or its urgent call for a freer, fairer world.<br><b><br><br>ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: <i>The Washington Post, The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Boston Gl
