笔力是真好,但是也真的毫无逻辑架构和内容深度,完全就是一整本African American受苦受罪事实堆砌史。 还以为能看到一些为什么当代美国社会如此分裂的深度解读,但是完全没有。光是史实和事件堆砌我不需要花这么多时间看这本啊,没有分析和想法的输出也太偷懒了吧…
评分比较了美国、印度、德国的“Caste”,用“Caste”来分析美国的racism,有很多具体的残酷的例子和作者的亲身经历,"The issue of caste was, to my mind, the basis of every other -ism" (171).这是她这本书有意思的地方之一,“the issue of Caste”指的是那八个pillars,也指人们先是divide然后rank (assign values to different position)的思维方式。如果critical一点来说,我觉得她太乐观了,而对有两个例子(教授和奥巴马)的分析似乎仍然含有作为知识分子的优越感,在想要废除一种ranking的同时又维护另一种ranking
评分#BLM 我已经说倦了。
评分(听)种族问题,caste 角度来解释的,角度新颖。我听懂了也记不住,也不知道要怎么用。但是挺涨知识的,例如高加索人是怎么来的… 希望听了会有用吧
评分Another masterpiece by an amazing journalist (based in Chicago) lol. Definitely one of the best books of the year and defining books of the era. A must read for anyone who wants to understand America.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • OPRAH’S BOOK CLUB PICK • The Pulitzer Prize–winning, bestselling author of The Warmth of Other Suns examines the unspoken caste system that has shaped America and shows how our lives today are still defined by a hierarchy of human divisions.
“An instant American classic.”—Dwight Garner, The New York Times
“As we go about our daily lives, caste is the wordless usher in a darkened theater, flashlight cast down in the aisles, guiding us to our assigned seats for a performance. The hierarchy of caste is not about feelings or morality. It is about power—which groups have it and which do not.”
In this brilliant book, 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.
Beyond race, class, or other factors, there is a powerful caste system that influences people’s lives and behavior and the nation’s fate. Linking the caste systems of America, India, and Nazi Germany, Wilkerson explores eight pillars that underlie caste systems across civilizations, including divine will, bloodlines, stigma, and more. Using riveting stories about people—including Martin Luther King, Jr., baseball’s Satchel Paige, a single father and his toddler son, Wilkerson herself, and many others—she shows the ways that the insidious undertow of caste is experienced every day. She documents how the Nazis studied the racial systems in America to plan their out-cast of the Jews; she discusses why the cruel logic of caste requires that there be a bottom rung for those in the middle to measure themselves against; she writes about the surprising health costs of caste, in depression and life expectancy, and the effects of this hierarchy on our culture and politics. Finally, she points forward to ways America can move beyond the artificial and destructive separations of human divisions, toward hope in our common humanity.
Beautifully written, original, and revealing, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents 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.
前几天,在豆瓣刷到一篇帖子,博主讲了她在夏威夷机场纪念品商店遭遇的种族歧视。她在商店买东西,挑完东西后和一个白人男性几乎同时到达收银台,但白人男性晚了一点。正当她要先结账时,收银员却操着日语跟她说:我们先给白男结账吧。原来,日裔收银员将博主错当成了日本人,...

评分 评分A disappointing and frustrating reading experience. The book does not at all structurally examine the root causes for the existence of the caste/racial hierarchy systems, and instead takes an anecdotal approach to endlessly demonstrate the manifestation of ...
