Just finishing “Caste” by Isabel Wilkerson. Her writing feels especially timely and important right now. Thanks for the recommendation Yolanda!

Second that this book is a must-read.

Some books have fundamentally shifted the way I look at the world around me. This book and Caste are two of them. Brilliant, painful works and I love them both.

This is one of those books that doesn’t leave you after you finish it. Highly recommend.

Yes, fantastic the way she weaves the stories and uses them to explain the migration. She’s a fantastic storyteller

I had the pleasure of introducing Isabel Wilkerson at the Southern Festival of Books the year she published it. Such a great book and a kind and generous author.

I just added it to my library. Thanks.

That looks interesting.

This and her book Caste were both incredible. The three key people in the WOOS book had such powerful stories of what they endured before, during and after their migration to other parts of the country. That book has stayed with me since reading it. I second your recommendation!
