I LOVED Caste. The discussion questions, of which this review is written, were well thought out and provoke meaningful discussion. Depending on the size of the book group, the questions will fill the allotted meeting time for a book club discussion and may need to be split into a series of discussions or the group can pick which questions they deem most important.

Isabel Wilkerson's Caste is an important book, popular among book clubs (HOORAY!) and this guide will definitely enhance any discussions of this timely subject. I appreciate having the opportunity to receive this prior to my. February Book Club meeting!

Loved this book so much!! Have been wanting to read it for some time so, thank you, Net Galley! Highly recommend this book!!

I am not sure why I received this Book Club Kit: Caste by Isabel Wilkerson, as I am not familiar with it and did not request it. I appreciate you sending me this copy but I haven't read the book that this kit relates too. Kind Regards

Thank you for this Book Club Kit! I found it to be very interesting and it would be a great resource for any clubs reading and discussing Caste.

This book club kit for the novel “Caste” was extremely beneficial! The novel was long and complex, and this kit helped immensely to aid our discussion.

Isabel Wilkerson's book, Caste, was very interesting and informative. I highly recommend it, and my teens even used it as part of the curriculum for high school history classes. We have also participated in live Q&A sessions with the author. I expected more from the Book Club Kit, though. Two pages of questions is something I would expect to be posted on an author page for free.

This was such a fabulous resource to dive into the book Caste. While Caste is an incredible book, it can be difficult to size it down in small accessible discussions. This kit assists us as leaders, in doing this important work.

I used this to guide a discussion of this book for a local organization. While I ended up not using the majority of the questions, it helped me to organize my thoughts, and build flexibility into the direction of the discussion. In retrospect, it might have been useful to read this book first, as it highlights the important themes and stories in the book itself.

Isabel Wilkerson's work debunks the myth that a caste system only operates in modern day India. Through exploring India, Germany, and the United States, Wilkerson paints a grim picture of the reality that most aren't fully aware of. The comparing and contrasting of "caste" and "race" allows the reader to understand how divisive the world we live in is. One of the most sticking things in the inclusion of real stories and experiences; the weight is truly felt.

I participate in a very modest book club that focuses on diversifying our reading through different perspectives (racial, religious, etc). I picked up Caste after devouring The Warmth of Other Suns and this was the perfect companion to our discussion and for my own edification.

This is an excellent kit that poses great questions that open up incredible discussions about such an important and necessary topic.

This book club kit was a useful and insightful complement to the larger story that benefits readers and helps guide meaningful discussions.

An excellent kit to help facilitate book club discussion on such an important topic. The questions posed generated a lot of interesting discussion within my book club meeting.

I love the information provided in this book club guide. It gives you thought-provoking questions about the book. Going over these questions helped for a deeper understanding of the book.

This is an excellent book club kit that I would recommend for any book club. The discussion questions are great, and any group would benefit from them.

This book club kit is comprised of discussion questions, and would be useful to facilitate both a more casual book club discussion or an academic discussion.

This is a wonderful book club kit. Caste is my group's selection for May and I've been looking for some great discussion topics in preparation for our meeting, and will share some of these thoughts with members as they read the book. The topics are thought provoking and go beyond the obvious talking points. One thing I might've liked to see is more insight into Wilkerson's writing of the book and the choices she made, as I always find those conversations are really interesting for book club meetings as well.

I read Caste with a buddy read group. I was very impressed by the book itself. We used the book club kit to help ground our discussions of the book. In particular, I found the questions about Germans giving the Nazi salute, the similarities and differences between caste and race, and acting against one's own interests particularly powerful. The questions worked great for me with a group and when thinking through the book on my own. I highly recommend them to anyone who plans to read the book, with or without a book club.

Great discussion guide for a very timely book that merits thoughtful discussion. There are 25 discussion points in this set that are a great starting point not only for a group reading, but also for individuals wishing to do a more in-depth reading.
