I hope you are all as excited as I am to roll up our sleeves and dive into our fall book club selection. Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents,
by Isabel Wilkerson.
My interest in reading this book, besides all of the amazing reviews, stemmed from a book suggested to me a few years back called A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry. This was the first time I gained a better understanding of the caste system in India. This book struck an eerily familiar chord that left me wanting to know more. In Caste, Isabel Wilkerson compares racism in America with various aspects of the caste system in India and Nazi Germany.

You know the drill. Go out and pick up the book today, I wanted to give consideration to those who are managing kids returning to school and/or home schooling schedules, so we will have a little over six weeks to read the book. We will get together via zoom October 18, 2020 at 7:30 pm EST for some discussion.
