This audio study guide for The Warmth of Other Suns by Isabel Wilkerson includes detailed summary and analysis of each chapter and an in-depth exploration of the book’s multiple symbols, motifs, and themes such as segregation and "separate but equal", the generational divide, and community obligation.

The Warmth of Other Suns is a sweeping ethnography of the Great Migration - the mass exodus of African-Americans from the South to Northern and Western US cities dating from approximately 1914-1970. The book traces the history of racism in the Jim Crow South as well as the reasons, successes, and failures of those African-Americans who left the place of their birth in order to seek better economic and social opportunities elsewhere in the United States.
