The A ward Committee, made up of Henry Seidel Canby, Henry P. Fairchild, and Ralph Hinton, issued the follow -ng statement in connection with this year's selections. “The level of competition this year was high, and the judges feel well satisfied to have been able to choose two such excellent books, one in the field of creative litera ture, and one in science. “Miss Graham’s novel is one of the most sensitive and penetrating studies of the social relations be tween Jews and Christians . in a long established Anglo-Saxon com munity that has been written in our times. It is a study of prejudice encountered and prejudice over come in the city of Montreal, where French Canadians, Scotch-English, Canadians, and Jewish Canadians, all come in contact in a social, in tellectual and business life in the city. Not only is this book an ex cellent study of Canadian racial re lations, it is an admirable novel and must be thought of first of all for its brilliant pictures of personality and its excellent art, especially the art of dialogue. It is certainly one of the best novels to be written in Canada. " 'An American Dilemna,' by Gun ! i ar Myrdal, is the most comprehen sive and penetrating scholarly study of the Negro in the United Ktatesand the related problems that has yet been presented. As sug gested by the sub-title, 'The Negro Problem and Modern Democracy,’ the author faces squarely the con flict between 'The American Creed’ of brotherhood, equality and free dom and the actual practice of soc I iety in dealing with this important minoritygroup. As a foreigner, the author brings a fresh and objective viewpoint to his task, but through out the book he displays a shrewd and sympathetic understanding of the considerations and circumstanc es that affect the attitudes of var ious elements of the American pub lic, and contribute to the creation of a genuine ’dilemna.’ The study was carried out under the auspices of the Carnegie Corporation, and Professor Myrdal was assisted by a staff of able experts.” The Anisfield Awards were estab lihed by Edith A.
