For ages, India’s caste system has assigned its people static positions within its social hierarchy based merely on their birth. I had always wondered about the many parallels I saw between caste in India and slavery in the United States, in terms of their history, organizing structure, and impact on society. This book contains a brilliant exposition of these similarities. I hope it will help cross-pollinate ideas of resistance to these oppressive systems not just in my two homelands but across the globe.
