Summary of Caste
Lucas Ford
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
Discover the invisible hierarchy that has shaped America for over 400 years.
Most Americans reject the idea that they live in a caste society. But Pulitzer Prize-winning author Isabel Wilkerson reveals an uncomfortable truth: beneath our democratic ideals lies an ancient system of human ranking that predates the nation itself.
This comprehensive summary explores Wilkerson's revolutionary framework comparing three of history's most significant caste systems: the United States, India, and Nazi Germany. You'll discover the eight universal pillars that support all caste hierarchies—from divine justification to occupational control—and understand why focusing on race alone has failed to dismantle inequality.
