Caste: The Origins of our Discontents. By Isabel Wilkerson. I am only 32 pages into it but so far it is extremely well written nd documented. It is guaranteed to be thought provoking and will be uncomfortable for those who are in the upper Caste in the US.

I've just Googled that one and it sounds like a book every American ought to be reading right now. Wow. I will add it to my list -- thank you for sharing that 👍
To show you how popular it is: I was #1045 on the wait list for it with my public library. This book is not making headlines but it is being absorbed by many in our upper Caste (which is a good thing IMO). If you want to add heartache to your list, watch the Prime tv show called "The Underground Railroad." I could not finish the second episode because it was so difficult to process, but will get back to it when I can.
I've made it about a third of the way into the book, so if it's the scene I'm imagining, then I can understand why it would be. I'm gripped by the book so far, but I can see why some scenes would be tough to watch.
