Gunnar Myrdal's landmark study of race relations in the United States, commissioned and funded by the Carnegie Corporation of New York. Based on an extensive multidisciplinary investigation, Myrdal examined the social, economic, political, educational, and legal dimensions of racial discrimination and the fundamental contradiction between American democratic ideals and the treatment of African Americans. The work became one of the most influential studies of American race relations of the twentieth century and was subsequently influential in the intellectual and legal development of the modern civil-rights movement.
