ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New Yorker \u2022 The Washington Post \u2022 The Economist \u2022Boston Globe \u2022 San Francisco Chronicle \u2022 Chicago Tribune \u2022 Entertainment Weekly \u2022 Philadelphia Inquirer \u2022 The Guardian \u2022 The Seattle Times \u2022 St. Louis Post-Dispatch \u2022 The Christian Science Monitor<\/p>\n

In this beautifully written masterwork, Pulitzer Prize\u2013winning author Isabel Wilkerson presents a definitive and dramatic account of one of the great untold stories of American history: the Great Migration of six million Black citizens who fled the South for the North and West in search of a better life, from World War I to 1970.<\/p>\n

Wilkerson tells this interwoven story through the lives of three unforgettable protagonists: Ida Mae Gladney, a sharecropper\u2019s wife, who in 1937 fled Mississippi for Chicago; sharp and quick-tempered George Starling, who in 1945 fled Florida for Harlem, and Robert Foster, a surgeon who left Louisiana in 1953 in hopes of making it in California.<\/p>\n

Wilkerson brilliantly captures their first treacherous cross-country journeys by car and train and their new lives in colonies in the New World. The Warmth of Other Suns is a bold, remarkable, and riveting work, a superb account of an \u201cunrecognized immigration\u201d within our own land. Through the breadth of its narrative, the beauty of the writing, the depth of its research, and the fullness of the people and lives portrayed herein, this book is a modern classic.
