Isabel Wilkerson Instagram – I hear it over and over again from readers of Caste that, once you see it, you can’t unsee it.
So when The New York Times asked readers to nominate books that had helped them make sense of our political era, readers of Caste catapulted it to the Times’ list of the 12 Best Books About Politics, along with the seminal work of Robert Caro, Robert Penn Warren, Doris Kearns Goodwin and other acclaimed authors.
Caste is an x-ray of our country. It answers the otherwise incomprehensible question asked time and again in recent years: “Why do some people ‘vote against their own interests?’ ” The answer, from the perspective of Caste, is they don’t. They are voting for the interests that matter most to them.
Grateful to the readers who were so moved by Caste that they recommended it to this list. Grateful to those who have gifted this book to those they care about, making Caste the most gifted book in its category on Amazon.
An honor to be counted among classic works by revered political writers and to know that readers are finding solace and greater understanding in the pages of Caste. | Posted on 01/Oct/2024 22:12:31
