The Before Columbus Foundation announces the Winners of the Thirty-First Annual AMERICAN BOOK AWARDS. This event is open to the public. The American Book Awards were created to provide recognition for outstanding literary achievement from the entire spectrum of America's diverse literary community. The purpose of the awards is to recognize literary excellence without limitations or restrictions. There are no categories, no nom...inees, and therefore no losers. The award winners range from well-known and established writers to under-recognized authors and first works. There are no quotas for diversity, the winners list simply reflects it as a natural process. The Before Columbus Foundation views American culture as inclusive and has always considered the term "multicultural" to be not a description of various categories, groups, or "special interests," but rather as the definition of all American literature. The Awards are not bestowed by an industry organization, but rather are a writers' award given by other writers. The 2010 American Book Award Winners are: Lifetime Achievement: Quincy Troupe Katha Pollitt Amiri Baraka, Digging: The Afro-American Soul of American Classical Music (University of California Press) Sherwin Bitsui, Flood Song (Copper Canyon Press) Nancy Carnevale, A New Language, A New World: Italian Immigrants in the United States, 1890-1945 (University of Illinois Press) Dave Eggers, Zeitoun (McSweeney's/Vintage) Sesshu Foster, World Ball Notebook (City Lights) Stephen D.
