Overview (Program Summary)
A program hosted by:
ACC GeorgiaThe ACC Georgia Women’s Initiative invites you to join our book-club-style virtual event to talk about Caste:The Origins of Our Discontents by Isabel Wilkerson!
In the last few years, our country has gone through a racial awakening at a scale that the country has not seen since the height of the civil rights movement in the 1960s. Many books have been written recently to explore racial issues and to try to explain why we interact with different races the way we do. Pulitzer Prize winning author Isabel Wilkerson’s Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents is one of the best books on the topic. The Chicago Tribune writes that Caste “should be at the top of every American’s reading list.” It is also one of the 2020 picks by Oprah’s Book Club.
You do not have to read the book to participate in the conversation, but having read the book before the event would certainly lead to a deeper and more meaningful conversation.
We look forward to having an honest, open, respectful conversation about the book.
