In \u003ci\u003eCaste\u003c\/i\u003e, 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeautifully written and deeply original, \u003ci\u003eCaste\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wilkerson, Isabel","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":47845125587283,"sku":"XV80241486511","price":14.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"New","offer_id":44242464375074,"sku":"9780241486511","price":26.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/wilkerson-isabel-isabel-wilkerson-caste-the-lies-that-divide-us-w2-2020-hardback-58644743586131.jpg?v=1727227029","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/caste-the-lies-that-divide-us-hb-w2","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
