Race, Caste, and Class

Tuesday, October 4, 2022 • Duration 47:22

In her book 'Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents' Isabel Wilkerson looks to the Indian caste system to provide the vocabulary to expose the invisible substructure underlying race in America.

In this episode we have Gopal Guru in conversation with R. Srivatsan and P. Thirumal discussing Isabel Wilkerson's book and the overlaps and exclusions between Race, Caste, and Class.

Our guests have expressed their views on Isabel Wilkerson's book in their article published in the EPW, titled "Engaging with Isabel Wilkerson’s Idea of Race" by R. Srivatsan and "On Philosophical Causality and the Problem of Evil" by P. Thirumal
