Product Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD WINNER • TIME’S TEN BEST NONFICTION BOOKS OF THE DECADE • NAMED ONE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES’S FIVE BEST BOOKS OF THE 21ST CENTURY — In The Warmth of Other Suns, Pulitzer Prize–winning author Isabel Wilkerson delivers a sweeping, beautifully written narrative of the Great Migration, the historic movement of six million Black Americans who left the South between World War I and 1970 in search of greater freedom and opportunity. Through the real-life journeys of three unforgettable individuals—Ida Mae Gladney from Mississippi to Chicago, George Starling from Florida to Harlem, and Robert Foster from Louisiana to California—Wilkerson vividly captures the danger, hope, sacrifice, and transformation that defined this mass exodus. Hailed as a modern classic and honored with numerous major awards, the book blends meticulous research with novelistic storytelling to illuminate an “unrecognized immigration” within America, offering a powerful and deeply human portrait of resilience, courage, and the reshaping of a nation.
