Isabel Wilkerson, "Caste" (with Bryan Stevenson)

In Caste: The Origins of Our Discontent, Isabel Wilkerson gives us a masterful portrait of an unseen phenomenon in America as she explores, through an immersive, deeply researched narrative and stories about real people, how America today and throughout its history has been shaped by a hidden caste system, a rigid hierarchy of human rankings.
Beautifully written, original, and revealing, this brilliant book is an eye-opening story of people and history, and a reexamination of what lies under the surface of ordinary lives and of American life today.
Wilkerson will be in conversation with Bryan Stevenson, the founder and Executive Director of the Equal Justice Initiative (EJI), a human rights organization in Montgomery, Alabama. He is also the author of the award winning book Just Mercy, which was recently adapted as a major motion picture.
