Our book is "Caste: The Origin of our Discontents" by Isabel Wilderson.
It's a study of how caste, not race, has been the meta-tool of systematic discrimination in various cultures, especially the American South, India, and Nazi Germany. As heavy as that may sound, it is beautifully written, and a revelation. It will provoke you to think with a new filter about all your assumptions.
Check out Terry Gross' interview with Wilkerson on Fresh Air from 8/4/20.
