“Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents” by Isabel Wilkerson has a cover that means serious business. It’s like, “Hey, we’re about to have a deep, intense conversation, so put on your thinking cap!” The black and white crowd scene gives off major historical vibes—like something you’d see in a documentary that gets all the awards. Oprah’s Book Club sticker is right there, shouting, “You should totally read this!” If Oprah says it, you know it’s important. As someone who hopes for a brighter future, I find it comforting that books like this are pushing us to think, reflect, and maybe, just maybe, make the world a better place.
