She interviewed more than a thousand people, and gained access to new data and official records, to write this definitive and vividly dramatic account of how these American journeys unfolded, altering our cities, our country, and ourselves. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith stunning historical detail, Wilkerson tells this story through the lives of three unique individuals: Ida Mae Gladney, who in 1937 left sharecropping and prejudice in Mississippi for Chicago, where she achieved quiet blue-collar success and, in old age, voted for Barack Obama when he ran for an Illinois Senate seat; sharp and quick-tempered George Starling, who in 1945 fled Florida for Harlem, where he endangered his job fighting for civil rights, saw his family fall, and finally found peace in God; and Robert Foster, who left Louisiana in 1953 to pursue a medical career, the personal physician to Ray Charles as part of a glitteringly successful medical career, which allowed him to purchase a grand home where he often threw exuberant parties. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWilkerson brilliantly captures their first treacherous and exhausting cross-country trips by car and train and their new lives in colonies that grew into ghettos, as well as how they changed these cities with southern food, faith, and culture and improved them with discipline, drive, and hard work. Both a riveting microcosm and a major assessment, \u003ci\u003eThe Warmth of Other Suns\u003c\/i\u003e is a bold, remarkable, and riveting work, a superb account of an \"unrecognized immigration\" 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 destined to become a classic. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eNAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker \u003c\/i\u003e- \u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post \u003c\/i\u003e- \u003ci\u003eThe Economist\u003c\/i\u003e - \u003ci\u003eBoston Globe\u003c\/i\u003e - \u003ci\u003eSan Francisco Chronicle\u003c\/i\u003e - \u003ci\u003eChicago Tribune\u003c\/i\u003e - \u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly \u003c\/i\u003e- \u003ci\u003ePhiladelphia Inquirer \u003c\/i\u003e- \u003ci\u003eThe Guardian \u003c\/i\u003e- \u003ci\u003eThe Seattle Times\u003c\/i\u003e - \u003ci\u003eSt. Louis Post-Dispatch \u003c\/i\u003e- \u003ci\u003eThe Christian Science Monitor \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Isabel Wilkerson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Random House\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/07\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 640\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.48h x 6.41w x 1.52d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780679444329\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e ALA Notable Books - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Hurston\/Wright LEGACY Award - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e National Book Critics Circle Award - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e New England Book Award - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Literary Award - Runner-Up\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Lukas Prize Project - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Dayton Literary Peace Prize - Runner-Up\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/25\/2011 pg. 83\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2010 pg. 60\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2010 pg. 615\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/26\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew Yorker (The)\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/06\/2010 pg. 77\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/05\/2010 pg. 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/12\/2010 pg. 30\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEssence\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2010 pg. 102\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2010 pg. 8\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/10\/2010 pg. 93\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLJ Top 10 Book\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2010 pg. 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/24\/2010 pg. 117\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNY Times Notable Bks of Year\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/05\/2010 pg. 30\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/12\/2010 pg. 10\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist Editors Choice\/Adult\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2011 pg. 8\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly Best Books\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/08\/2010 pg. 22\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Best Books\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/15\/2010 pg. 6\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePeople Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/12\/2012 pg. 57\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEbony\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2013 pg. 73\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBookPage\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEbony\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2015 pg. 23\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eIsabel Wilkerson\u003c\/b\u003e won the 1994 Pulitzer Prize for Feature Writing for her reporting as Chicago bureau chief of \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times.\u003c\/i\u003e The award made her the first black woman in the history of American journalism to win a Pulitzer Prize and the first African American to win for individual reporting.
