NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • OPRAH’S BOOK CLUB PICK • The Pulitzer Prize–winning, bestselling author of The Warmth of Other Suns examines the unspoken caste system that has shaped America and shows how our lives today are still defined by a hierarchy of human divisions.
“An instant American classic.”—Dwight Garner, The New York Times
“As we go about our daily lives, caste is the wordless usher in a darkened theater, flashlight cast down in the aisles, guiding us to our assigned seats for a performance. The hierarchy of caste is not about feelings or morality. It is about power—which groups have it and which do not.”
In this brilliant book, Isabel Wilkerson gives us a masterful portrait of an unseen phenomenon in America as she explores, through an immersive, deeply researched narrative and stories about real people, how America today and throughout its history has been shaped by a hidden caste system, a rigid hierarchy of human rankings.
Beyond race, class, or other factors, there is a powerful caste system that influences people’s lives and behavior and the nation’s fate. Linking the caste systems of America, India, and Nazi Germany, Wilkerson explores eight pillars that underlie caste systems across civilizations, including divine will, bloodlines, stigma, and more. Using riveting stories about people—including Martin Luther King, Jr., baseball’s Satchel Paige, a single father and his toddler son, Wilkerson herself, and many others—she shows the ways that the insidious undertow of caste is experienced every day. She documents how the Nazis studied the racial systems in America to plan their out-cast of the Jews; she discusses why the cruel logic of caste requires that there be a bottom rung for those in the middle to measure themselves against; she writes about the surprising health costs of caste, in depression and life expectancy, and the effects of this hierarchy on our culture and politics. Finally, she points forward to ways America can move beyond the artificial and destructive separations of human divisions, toward hope in our common humanity.
Beautifully written, original, and revealing, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents is an eye-opening story of people and history, and a reexamination of what lies under the surface of ordinary lives and of American life today.

《爱心树》是世界绘本的经典作品之一,出版30年来,一直是绘本世界的著名典范,历久不衰,魅力惊人,销量超过600万册。这是一个由一棵有求必应的苹果树和一个贪求不厌的孩子,共同组成的温馨,又略带哀伤的动人故事。爱心树的英文 “The Giving Tree”,顾名思义便是牺牲奉献的意思,但它亦是一本述说友谊的书。树并未因为男孩的予取予求感到难过,即使后来只剩下残干的他,是那么凄凉孤寂,但当男孩回到他身边只求一个安静的歇脚处时,树竟是满欣喜乐将自己奉献给他,这样的喜悦比起男孩小时在树上刻的 “M.E. + T.”那些甜蜜文字,更令他感到真切舒心。天才的绘本艺术家希尔弗斯坦以简单俐落的线条和充满诗意又带有嘲讽幽默的文字,为各个年龄的读者创造了一则令人心醒动容的寓言——在施与受之间,也在爱与被爱之间。
'Once there was a tree...and she loved a little boy.' So begins a story of unforgettable perception, beautifully written and illustrated by the gifted and versatile Shel Silverstein. Every day the boy would come to the tree to eat her apples, swing from her branches, or slide down her trunk...and the tree was happy. But as the boy grew older he began to want more from the tree, and the tree gave and gave and gave. This is a tender story, touched with sadness, aglow with consolation. Shel Silverstein has created a moving parable for readers of all ages that offers an affecting interpretation of the gift of giving and a serene acceptance of another's capacity to love in return. Ages 10+

第一季主要讲述巴尔的摩市警察对巴克斯戴尔贩毒集团的调查。
调查全因警探吉米·麦克纳提而起。在对迪安吉拉·巴克斯戴尔的庭审中,关键证人临时翻供,使得迪安吉拉成功脱罪。庭后,麦克纳提向法官丹尼尔·费兰透露,目击证人可能是受到被告的舅舅——伊旺·巴克斯戴尔手下人的威胁才被迫改了口,因为他在庭审现场看到了伊旺的副手斯丁格·贝尔以及其他几名团伙成员。麦克纳提还告诉费兰法官,巴克斯戴尔团伙涉嫌大宗毒品交易以及多宗谋杀悬案,但没有人调查他们的犯罪行径。
费兰法官于是向警察局高层抱怨,令高层倍感尴尬,于是他们责令组建一支专案组对巴克斯戴尔进行调查。但是高层并非真心想调查该案,而只是为了敷衍法官。一场博弈在希望侦办此案的警官与阻挠侦查的上司间展开,而专案组的指挥官塞德里克·丹尼尔斯则夹在中间,进退两难。
同时,巴克斯戴尔团伙内部也有矛盾。另外他们同以抢劫毒贩为生的奥马·利特间的争斗,造成了多人死伤,这进一步引起了警方关注。在此期间,迪安吉拉因自己的犯罪生活以及由此对他人的影响倍感良心不安。
警察展开街头抓捕,并希望能从街头毒贩瓦伦斯那里得到线索,但都没有多少进展。最终专案组开始采用电子监听设备,对团伙成员使用的公用电话和呼机进行监控。但却导致调查进入上层划定的禁区,触及政治献金等问题[151][152]。伊旺手下的一位小头目被另一队警察逮捕后,上司要求就此结案。基玛·格雷戈斯警探在行动中受伤[149][150],令其他警官情绪激动,结果打草惊蛇。巴克斯戴尔团伙因此怀疑自己正受到警方调查,开始着手清除所有可疑人员,并弃用公用电话和呼机。
在斯丁格·贝尔的授意下,瓦伦斯被儿时伙伴博迪和普特射杀。迪安吉拉在为舅舅转移大量毒品时被抓,当得知瓦伦斯的死讯后,他决定供出舅舅和斯丁格。但其母劝导他要以家族事业为重。最终,专案组对伊旺从轻发落,他的手下威毕·布瑞斯则为大部分谋杀指控背黑锅,其中有一些甚至并不是威毕所为。斯丁格逃过起诉,继续运作巴克斯戴尔的犯罪王国。由于违抗上司命令,丹尼尔斯和麦克纳提都被调动到冷衙门。

How to Be an Antiracist

Ibram X. Kendi

2019
- 8
Antiracism is a transformative concept that reorients and reenergizes the conversation about racism—and, even more fundamentally, points us toward liberating new ways of thinking about ourselves and each other. At it’s core, racism is a powerful system that creates false hierarchies of human value; its warped logic extends beyond race, from the way we regard people of different ethnicities or skin colors to the way we treat people of different sexes, gender identities, and body types. Racism intersects with class and culture and geography and even changes the way we see and value ourselves. In How to Be an Antiracist, Kendi takes readers through a widening circle of antiracist ideas—from the most basic concepts to visionary possibilities—that will help readers see all forms of racism clearly, understand their posionous consequences, and work to oppose them in our systems and in ourselves.
Kendi weaves an electrifying combination of ethics, history, law, and science with his own personal story of awakening to antiracism. This is an essential work for anyone who wants to go beyond the awareness of racism to the next step: contributing to the formation of a just and equitable society.
