W.E.B. Du Bois writes inthe very much trodden first part of The Souls of Black Folk).

Dark Southerners tenant farmers, domestics, or more allex-slaves and their youngsters were getting away from a "lawfulrank framework" borne of oppression, changed into Jim Crow duringthe disastrous progress from subjugation to opportunity conceded."For this book," the Pulitzer Prize victor states, "I needed tocomprehend the starting points and advancement of arranging andraising one gathering of individuals over another." For thatreason, "bigotry," she finished up, "was deficient." And as she'sadjusted her language, assuming the terms of position "the mostexact term to portray the functions of American culture" sheentices readers to do as such, as well. In that sense, Caste is aride-along, similar to all convincing narratives. Unfamiliar isn'texactly the word for it or not the one I would utilize. Maybemuddled is, however.
