Media Reviews
"...It took a Swedish economist commissioned by an American foundation to undertake the first full-dress, comprehensive study of black-white relations....This powerful work was not only an analysis: It was a challenge Written during the war against Hitler and his theory of a master race, it called on Americans to discard their own theories of racial superiority and live up to the promises of equality implicit in what Myrdal termed the American Creed.".
