#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - NEW YORK TIMES READERS PICK: 100 BEST BOOKS OF THE 21st CENTURY - OPRAH'S BOOK CLUB PICK - ONE OF BARACK OBAMA'S FAVORITE BOOKS OF THE YEAR - TIME'S #1 NONFICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR

"An instant American classic and almost certainly the keynote nonfiction book of the American century thus far."--Dwight Garner, The New York Times

"[Caste] changes the lens through which we see the world."--Oprah Winfrey for Time, "25 Books That Capture This American Moment"

The Pulitzer Prize-winning 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.

"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."

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, Isabel 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. Finally, she points forward to ways America can move beyond the artificial and destructive separations of human divisions, toward hope in our common humanity.

Wipe away the tears of Mother Nature with these easy to install wipers
Size: 26"/16"/12", Style: J-HOOK
Great quality, they were easy to install and look like factory grade but seem more durable. No noise when wiping away the tears of mother nature. So yea, they resist rain and snow the tough kind from Maine. They work as they should and look great on my car. They haven't flung off yet so I say they're safe and you should buy them. Installed on a 2016 Subaru Crosstrek.

Works great

Great wipers for the price. I change my wiper blades every year after the winter thaw and these are my go to. They'll last a season no problem, just remember to clean the rubber with some alcohol wipes or cleaning solution to get the grime off. Wiper blades get beat up during winter so at this price I just replace them all.
