The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America's Great Migration by Isabel Wilkerson | Book Summary | Readtrepreneur

(Disclaimer: This is NOT the original book, but an unofficial summary.)

This book is an untold story of the hardships black citizens had to endure in the last century and how they managed to look for a better life fleeing from their hometowns. The Warmth of Other Suns tells us the story through the eyes of three black citizens who had to overcome a lot of hardships to be where they are now today. In a society filled with racism, they fled to the north to look for better opportunities.

"The general laws of migration hold that the greater the obstacles and the farther the distance traveled, the more ambitious the migrants." – Isabel Wilkerson

With a Pulitzer Prize under her belt, Isabel Wilkerson does an outstanding job of narrating us the story of America's Great Migration without leaving anything important behind. A truly informative, non-fiction book that will really leave you thinking about the struggles many black men and women had to face in those days. Isabel Wilkerson captivating narrative, enthralling concept and extensive research makes this title an A plus.

P.S. The Warmth of Other Suns is an extremely informative book that will also keep you hooked.
