Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents | Isabel Wilkerson

pick

Wilkerson makes the devastating history of caste utterly clear. Combining the U.S. system with India and Nazi Germany history is brilliant. I was especially gobsmacked by some of her real-life examples, from the historical to the personal.

Just go get this and read it!

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Cinfhen It‘s really worth the time! 3y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Great review, some of her examples were eye opening and devastating, especially for anyone how wants to claim there is no racism in America. 3y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Post-racist claims are just ignorant ... and Wilkerson (among others) proves it. 3y

So You Want to Talk About Race | Ijeoma Oluo

pick

This is a great look at both systemic racism and the daily microaggressions that POC face. It is an excellent primer to start a dialogue with yourself or others about race. Parts of each chapter are aimed at different areas for deeper understanding.

It‘s a wonderful #audiobook narrated by a favorite, Bahni Turpin. I highly recommend this to improve racial understanding and for self-education.

TrishB I‘m probably going to use this one for this prompt too 👍🏻 3y

Christine I want to reread this but might go for a first read of Mediocre before I do! 3y

alisiakae I love Bahni Turpin! Hmm, maybe I‘ll do this one on audio instead of the physical book. It‘s been in my TBR for a while. 3y
