The Warmth
of Other Suns
by Isabel Wilkerson
In this epic, beautifully written
masterwork, Pulitzer Prize–winning author Isabel Wilkerson chronicles one of
the great untold stories of American history: the decades-long migration of
black citizens who fled the South for northern and western cities, in search of
a better life. From 1915 to 1970, this exodus of
almost six million people changed the face of America. Wilkerson compares this epic
migration to the migrations of other peoples in history. She interviewed more
than a thousand people, and gained access to new data and official records, to
write this definitive and vividly dramatic account of how these American
journeys unfolded, altering our cities, our country, and ourselves.
