Everyday Americans

By: Canby, Henry Seidel

If Mr. Canby's book had been written long ago it would have remedied in large degree the appalling ignorance existing abroad concerning American mind and thought. It should be translated and given a wide foreign circulation because it is a remarkable portrayal of the composite American mentality, and clearly and intelligently analyzes our complicated social fabric. The European and the Asian have failed to understand us and this misunderstanding has hurt us; today we are 'not understood and loved as would be the case if we had been better known. Mr. Canby, for instance, emphasizes a condition that has always puzzled foreigners, viz., that our apparent quickness to change everything at top speed extends only to the details; that the fundamentals, the foundations of our system, are sacredly preserved. It is only the methods that are new. Not only by foreigners but by everyone who is interested in America and the Americans should this book be read, for Dr. Canby has condensed into two hundred thoughtful pages a fund of valuable observation.
