NPR's Book of the Day - Isabel Wilkerson argues that ‘Caste,’ not racism caused The Great Migration

Isabel Wilkerson followed her novel about The Great Migration, The Warmth of Other Suns, with another book that looks at why it happened. Caste – recently made into a film by director Ava DuVernay – argues that caste and not racism is actually what Black people were fleeing when they left the Jim Crow South. Wilkerson told Throughline's Ramtin Arablouei and Rund Abdelfatah that the term racism is rooted in hate but caste is about "power and how those other groups manage and navigate and seek to survive in a society that's created with this ranked hierarchy."

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ traces the murders of Osage families

This week, we're hearing from authors whose works have been adapted to the big screen. In this 2017 interview, NPR's Steve Inskeep asks David Grann about his nonfiction book Killers of the Flower Moon, which recounts how white settlers conspired to kill members of the Osage Nation in the 1920s in order to take over their oil-rich land in Oklahoma. The story – which also involves the FBI's first major homicide investigation – is at the center of Martin Scorsese's latest film.

Everything Everywhere Daily - How the Roman Republic Became the Roman Empire

The Roman Republic existed for almost 500 years. The Romane Empire then existed for almost another 500 years. 

The two institutions had a great deal in common, but they radically differed in how Rome was administered. 

The Republic was set up explicitly to prevent the rule of a single individual, and yet, in the end, that is exactly what happened. 

Learn more about how the Roman Republic became the Roman Empire on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Magna Carta

In the early 13th century, England suffered through the worst monarch it would have in its history: King John.

John and his arbitrary policies and high taxation angered the nobility, the church, and the common people. 

However, out of his disastrous reign came something good. An uprising against his rule forced him to sign a document establishing fundamental principles of limited government, the rule of law, and individual rights, marking a crucial milestone in developing constitutional and legal frameworks.

Learn more about the Magna Carta, how it came about, and its significance on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
