2021-02-19T14:43:38.000ZЛауреат Пулитцеровской премии Изабель Уилкерсон исследует истоки кастового общества в современном мире и доказывает: в XXI веке людей продолжают делить на касты высших и низших.
• Книгу рекомендуют ОПРА УИНФРИ и БАРАК ОБАМА
• ГЛАВНЫЙ НОН-ФИКШН 2020 ГОДА по версии TIME, People, The Washington Post и Publishers Weekly
• Победитель премий PEN, Los Angeles Times Book Prize и National Book Critics Circle Award
• Будущий хит NETFLIX
Америка, Индия и Третий Рейх — что общего между этими странами? В каждой из них зародилась своя уникальная кастовая система, разделившая людей на низшие и высшие сорта, и подготовившая почву для современных шовинистических движений по всему миру. В своей книге лауреат Пулитцеровской премии, журналистка Изабель Уилкерсон рассматривает способы угнетения и ограничения людей в правах на основании их национальности, цвета кожи или места рождения, а также показывает, какой ущерб это наносит и их качеству жизни, и экономике в целом. Ее книга доказывает: даже несмотря на прогресс, кастовая система все еще существует, лишая людей равных прав и возможностей, убивая заложенный в них человеческий потенциал.
Сплетенная из множества человеческих историй, пронизанных несправедливостью, гневом и болью, книга «Касты» наглядно показывает несостоятельность искусственных правил и предрассудков, которые привели к холокосту, протестам Ганди и законам Джима Кроу — а в XXI веке к масштабным расовым протестам в Америке. Это также противоядие от идей шовинизма и ксенофобии, которые до сих пор овладевают умами людей по всему миру.
Подробное исследование расизма, неравенства и несправедливости. Это болезненно резонансная книга, и она вышла в нужное время.
The Guardian
Книга Уилкерсон — мощный и поучительный отчет о том, как иерархия воспроизводит саму себя, а также призыв к нелегкой работе по ее устранению.
The Washington Post
Потрясающе смело как на уровне идеи, так и в подаче… Экстраполяция идей Уилкерсон на современную Америку наводит на тревожные мысли о том, как глубоко кастовая система укоренилась в современном обществе.
San Francisco Chronicle
Сила этой книги — в человеческих историях, связанных между собой, словно жемчуг. «Касты» — это запоминающееся чтение, несущее огонь праведного гнева в острой, как алмаз, прозе, которую станут изучать будущие поколения журналистов.
