histories.<br \/><br \/>For one, there are the stumbling stones, known as Stolpersteine \u2014the brass squares inscribed with the names of Holocaust victims, embedded in the cobblestones outside the last known residences of those abducted. I will never forget seeing the stones for the first time in Berlin as I researched this book, how transfixed I was by them and by so much else I saw in that haunted land.<br \/><br \/>Grateful for readers who now see the deep and disturbing connections between Nazi Germany and Jim Crow, as documented in Caste. My years-long journey felt like an underground mission, linking a disparate history to better understand our own. Because we haven\u2019t addressed our past, as has Germany, we still live with the consequences.<br \/><br \/>From\u00a0<a class=\"x1i10hfl xjbqb8w x1ejq31n xd10rxx x1sy0etr x17r0tee x972fbf xcfux6l x1qhh985 xm0m39n x9f619 x1ypdohk xt0psk2 xe8uvvx xdj266r x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r xexx8yu x4uap5 x18d9i69 xkhd6sd x16tdsg8 x1hl2dhg xggy1nq x1a2a7pz notranslate _a6hd\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/brigittesbookshelf\/\">@brigittesbookshelf<\/a>: \u201cRather than monuments to lives lost and stolen\u2026, we cling to Confederate monuments, name our schools and streets after terrorists, and deny our complicity. [pic 9]<br \/>\u201cCaste shook me. The book was unsettling in its effectiveness. Wilkerson argues that America is a caste system\u2026as Nazi Germany and India. The myth of American exceptionalism tries to deny that fact, but in doing so, we are all the more culpable for its repercussions. Wilkerson makes her point through relentless analysis and data, but also through vignettes that serve as metaphors for the systems she critiques\u2026. [S]he forces us to dwell in the similarities between eras, including our current one.<br \/><br \/>\u201cWilkerson\u2019s argument is compelling throughout, but her section about the backlash against Obama was most powerful to me and helped me better understand the forces operating today. She argues that we must reckon with caste, which unlike race is the only sufficiently comprehensive explanation for the stratification and oppression built systemically into our society.

It wasn\u2019t until my research for my plaque that I discovered that Denmark was involved in the transatlantic slave trade and slavery, primarily from Ghana to the Danish West Indies (now U.S. Virgin Islands). Approximately 100,000 to 120,000 Africans were transported between 1733 and 1803 to work on sugar, coffee, and tobacco plantations. Denmark legislated the abolition of the slave trade in 1792, effective 1803, and full emancipation of enslaved people occurred in the Danish colonies in 1848, spurred by colonial unrest.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2017, Danish foreign minister, Anders Samuelsen, apologized for the many years of torture and treatment of African slaves.
