Product Description
Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of Americas Great Migration
About This Item
Immerse yourself in the rich and poignant history of America's Great Migration with the Vintage: The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America's Great Migration Reprint Edition Paperback. This extraordinary book by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Wilkerson takes you on a compelling journey, following the lives of three individuals who made the brave decision to leave their Southern homes in search of a better future. Ida Mae Brandon Gladney, a sharecropper's wife, ventured out of Mississippi to Milwaukee in 1937, driven by the injustice her cousin faced. George Swanson Starling, a citrus picker, fled Florida for Harlem in 1945 after discovering plans for a lynching.
And Robert Joseph Pershing Foster, a surgeon for the United States Army, left Louisiana for California in 1953, frustrated by the discrimination he faced in his own hometown. Within the pages of this extensively researched study, Wilkerson seamlessly weaves together historical and sociological accounts with captivating narratives of Gladney, Starling, and Pershing. As they settle into new lands, build new lives, and confront ongoing racism, the book unfolds like a classic immigrant saga, filled with drama, poignancy, and the indomitable spirit of those seeking a brighter future.
