I finally had the time to read this book and I'm so glad I did. The historical lens peppered with touching and relatable vignettes validated my experiences as someone "belonging to the subordinate caste" and I felt like Wilkerson did a great job appealing to readers' ethos. The epilogue was a well-worded call to action and I felt optimistic when I eventually closed the cover. My only hope is that, like the plumber at the end of the analysis, those belonging in the "dominant" case can swallow what pride or willful ignorance they may harbor and give this book a chance. Wilkerson wrote a wonderful book that can start so many great conversations if only more people were willing to have them.
