Summary "Nationality and Race from an Anthropologist's Point of View" by Sir Arthur Keith is a scientific publication presented as a lecture delivered in the early 20th century. The book explores the complexities and dynamics of race and nationality, particularly in the context of anthropological evolution and modern societal structures. It delves into the historical interactions and tensions between various racial and national groups, particularly focusing on the British Empire and its territories. In this work, Keith discusses how racial and national identities have emerged and evolved over time, emphasizing that inherited tribal instincts play a significant role in shaping modern conflicts. He examines case studies from various regions, including the United States, Canada, South Africa, and Europe, to illustrate how historical patterns of colonization, migration, and racial interactions influence current societal issues. The lecture outlines the friction that arises when different races and nationalities come into contact, suggesting that understanding these underlying instincts is essential for addressing contemporary racial and national problems. Through comprehensive examples, Keith argues that many of today's challenges are deeply rooted in the primitive tribal organization of human society, thereby calling for a nuanced approach to reform and unity.
