		It had been Myrdal's belief that the impact of slavery followed by eight decades of segregation and white supremacy could be seen in the "distorted" and "pathological" nature of fl communal life.
		The Thernstroms' opinion, on the other hand, is that Myrdal's discussion of the pathology of fl life was "the least satisfactory part of his great survey of the 'American Dilemma.'" Only two of his forty-five chapters, they point out, were devoted to the institutions and culture that defined "the Negro Community," as he called it.
		At the very moment that Myrdal was basking in the praise of his book the South was in the throes of remarkable change, to which fl initiative was contributing significantly.
