Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents

So, I put this in my pipe and I smoked it, and it was a mind-altering experience. (And yes, I did inhale.) There's so much to absorb here that I will have to smoke it again sometime in the near future.
I have some personal take-aways to share, which I will add after I take some time for reflection. For now let me just say that if you are overwhelmed by the seeming flood of books coming out about racism and injustice and you can't figure out which of them to read, start with this one.

I did read Ms. Wilkerson's first book and found it to be a compelling read. I am skeptical about this one.

Anything specific that makes you wary of this one? I wasn't sure if I wanted to read it, based on the description, but I went for it because I respect the author.
Reading this soon, so good to hear it’s worth it.
