America, India and the Third Reich - what is common between these countries? Each of them originated its own unique caste system, dividing people into lower and highest varieties, and preparing the ground for modern chauvinistic movements around the world. In his book, the Laureate of the Pulitzer Prize, journalist Isabelle Wilrson considers ways to depress and limit people in rights on the basis of their nationality, skin color or place of birth, and also shows what damage this causes their quality of life and the economy as a whole. Her book proves: even despite progress, the caste system still exists, depriving people of equal rights and opportunities, killing the human potential inherent in them.
woven from many human stories permeated by injustice, anger and pain, the book "Casta" clearly shows the failure of artificial rules and prejudices that led to the Holocaust, the protests of Gandhi and the laws of Jim Crowe - and in the 21st century to large -scale racial protests in America. It is also an antidote from the ideas of chauvinism and xenophobia, which still master the minds of people around the world.
A detailed study of racism, inequality and injustice. This is a painfully resonant book, and it has published at the right time.
