Bellingham Public Library Events Coordinator, Miranda, recently read Isabel Wilkerson's book, "Caste" and says, "This book was revelatory to me and I strongly recommend it to everyone. There were so many passages that I had to reread, read out loud to my partner, and then set the book down and think about before I could move on. Wilkerson walks us through why and how systemic racism was created, its origins in the US, and how American racism has been exported around the globe. The author also unveils how racism obscures classism and how that obstruction deceives us. Be sure to catch Isabel Wilkerson for her highly anticipated visit to Bellingham on Friday, February 6, 2026 at Mt. Baker Theatre. I'm very interested in hearing her take on current events."
