Our Race Problems

Henry Ferdinand Suksdorf presents a history of humankind framed in the context of various races to have emerged throughout history. The author believes each race of humankind undergoes a period of ascendance followed by a peak wherein intellectual and civilizational achievements are made and finally a ruinous decline into decadence. In support of his hypothesis Suksdorf discusses the various civilizations and empires of the past noting how each follows this pattern of a societal zenith followed by a fall. After listing the various successes and demises of twenty-two different races the author concludes with the Human Race - a prediction that eventually all of the various races will largely unite. This unity will produce a final peak for human society; a global brotherhood of man. Suksdorf's prognosis is that national identity will diminish in importance and that a golden age will emerge in which new heights of societal and moral standards will be met owing to burgeoning activity and cooperation.
