Julie’s Reviews > Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents > Status Update

Wilkerson compares caste systems across America, India, and Nazi Germany. She doesn’t place Nazi Germany in a separate moral universe. Many Americans view Nazis as a historical evil that existed “over there” and “back then.”

Wilkerson disrupts that. The microscope isn’t pointed only at Germany. It’s pointed at us with the same analytical lens used to examine one of history’s most infamous regimes.
