Caste by Wilkerson book cover

November's MAP Reads pick is  Caste: The Origins of Our Discontent by Isabel Wilkerson.

Dwight Garner of the NY Times said, "Wilkerson’s book is about how brutal misperceptions about race have disfigured the American experiment. This is a topic that major historians and novelists have examined from many angles, with care, anger, deep feeling and sometimes simmering wit. Wilkerson’s book is a work of synthesis. She borrows from all that has come before, and her book stands on many shoulders. “Caste” lands so firmly because the historian, the sociologist and the reporter are not at war with the essayist and the critic inside her. This book has the reverberating and patriotic slap of the best American prose writing."

This session will be facilitated by Wayne Stapleton. Mr. Stapleton is the vice president for Racial Righteousness at North American Baptists, Inc.  He has a background in finance and consulting and for the past 15 years has served as a Pastor in Detroit and in Warren, Michigan. He is currently Vice President of Cross Cultural Engagement for the North American Baptist Conference of churches, with a focus on racial reconciliation.
