DESCRIPTION:    “The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America’s Great 
 Migration” brilliantly chronicles the decades-long migration of 
 African-Americans from the South to the North and West, from World War I 
 through the 1970’s – through the stories of three individuals and their 
 families. Over a decade in the writing and research, drawing on archival 
 materials and more than 1,200 interviews, Isabel Wilkerson chronicles a 
 major shift in American life, comparable to the immigration experience of 
 many people who came to this country, setting off into the unknown in 
 search of a better life. It will stand as a classic of narrative journalism 
 and of modern American history, equaling masterworks by Diane McWhorter, 
 Doris Kearns Goodwin, and Robert Caro. \n\nIsabel Wilkerson, the first 
 African-American woman to win the Pulitzer Prize in journalism, is 
 Professor of Journalism and Director of Narrative Nonfiction at Boston 
 University. She has also won a George S. Polk Award, a Guggenheim 
 Fellowship, and a Journalist of the Year Award from the National 
 Association of Black Journalists. This is her first book.\n\n“Profound, 
 necessary and an absolutely compelling read.” – Toni Morrison\n     
 \n“Isabel Wilkerson’s book is a masterful narrative of the rich wisdom 
 and deep courage of a great people. Don’t miss it.” — Cornel
