 necessary and an absolutely compelling read." - Toni Morrison\n     \n"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"Isabel Wilkerson's book is a masterful narrative of the rich 
 wisdom and deep courage of a great people. Don't miss it." - Cornel West\n
