4.0
If you've read [b:Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents|51152447|Caste The Origins of Our Discontents|Isabel Wilkerson|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1597267568l/51152447._SY75_.jpg|75937597] you should pick up this book. Morgan Jerkins talks about the black/white binary (caste) often especially when she ends up parts of her history that blended the lines between black/white/indigenous groups.
The book would also be fascinating to anyone interested in family history or genealogy. Jerkins weaves together many threads of American history that impacted her family roots in the American South including the exclusion of Native tribes in the 1830s to Indian territory.
This book is a great reminder that we are not all just one thing. That history is not as simple or as straight forward as we are lead to believe.
