"The Afterlife of Pathogens" is the first chapter of Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents
"What humanity learned, one would hope, was that an ancient and hardy virus required perhaps more than anything, knowledge of its ever-present danger, caution to protect against exposure, and alertness to the power of its longevity, its ability to mutate, survive and hibernate until reawakened." — Isabel Wilkerson, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents, Page 12
