The Invisible Architecture of American Society
America isn't just dealing with racism-it's operating under a caste system. Isabel Wilkerson's groundbreaking framework reveals how our social hierarchy functions like India's ancient caste structure or Nazi Germany's brief but brutal regime. This isn't merely about prejudice but about a rigid social hierarchy that assigns worth and opportunity based on ancestry. Like an old house with hidden structural damage, America's foundation contains flaws we've patched over but never truly repaired. Why do racial disparities persist despite legal equality? Why does progress seem to take two steps forward and one step back? The answer lies in recognizing the caste system that has been carefully constructed and maintained for centuries-an invisible architecture that determines who stands where in our social order.
