Description

The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America's Great Migration

This landmark work of non-fiction tells the story of the mass migration of African Americans out of the US south between 1915 and 1970. Over six million people made the journey, changing the face of America forever. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Isabel Wilkerson brings to life the experiences of three individuals who made this journey, from sharecropping and prejudice in Mississippi to the vibrant cities of the north.

With stunning historical detail and access to new data and official records, Wilkerson gives a vivid and dramatic account of how these journeys unfolded. Her book is a powerful exploration of sacrifice and hope, shedding new light on a pivotal moment in American history.
