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

princxporkchop's review against another edition

dark emotional funny hopeful informative reflective sad tense medium-paced

4.25

A crucial archive of Black culture and history that's unfortunately weakened at times by its liberal academic sensibilities, particularly with its adherence to respectability politics and the lionization of war criminal Barack Obama.

mourtarymaggots's review against another edition

We were supposed to read this for class but after student complaints the district ruled it wasn’t appropriate for a high school class.

Obviously a book about the Great Migration will include hard to discuss topics. This book does not hold back and is very honest.
