Reviews

If you haven't read Caste yet, you absolutely must
*Vogue*

Powerful and timely... I cannot recommend it strongly enough
*Barack Obama*

Such is Wilkerson's gift as a writer that she leaves you looking at the world differently
*Vogue*

Elegant and persuasive... Caste will spur readers to think and to feel in equal measure
*New York Times Book Review*

Probably the most important piece of non-fiction published this year
*i News*

A surprising and arresting wide-angle reframing... Her epilogue feels like a prayer for a country in pain, offering new directions through prophetic new language
*Washington Post*

An expansive interrogation of racism, institutionalised inequality and injustice... This is an American reckoning and so it should be... It is a painfully resonant book and could not have come at a more urgent time
*Guardian*

Persuasive and unsettling... The case Wilkerson puts forward is inspiring and hopeful... caste can be dismantled, setting everyone free
*Observer*

Important and timely... If repudiation of past assumptions is the first step towards healing, Wilkerson's book offers a powerful frame for this. It is essential reading for anybody who feels angry, guilty or threatened by the tangled issue of "race" in America today
*Financial Times*

Magisterial... [Wilkerson's] reporting is nimble and her sentences exquisite. But the real power of Caste lies tucked within the stories she strings together like pearls... Caste is a luminous read, bearing its own torch of righteous wrath in a diamond-hard prose that will be admired and studied by future generations of journalists
*Star Tribune*
