When his first novel, “Cry, the Beloved Country,” was published in 1948, the reviews hailed it as ‘beautiful and profoundly moving […] steeped in sadness and grief but radiant with hope and compassion.’

The Anisfield-Wolf Book Awards recognize books that have made important contributions to our understanding of racism and human diversity. Cleveland poet and philanthropist Edith Anisfield Wolf established the book awards in 1935, in honor of her father, John Anisfield, and husband, Eugene Wolf, to reflect her family’s passion for social justice. Presented by the Cleveland Foundation, it remains the only American book prize focusing on works that address racism and diversity.
