Publisher's Synopsis
A pioneering investigator into the racial origins of ancient civilizations, Sayers believed that there were only three original races-white, black, and yellow-and that all peoples on earth were either from those three groups or mixtures thereof. In addition, Sayers argued, only the white race was capable of advanced civilization. Therefore, he said, all civilizations, no matter where located, were originally built by white people, and that if those people no longer existed, it was because they had disappeared through racial amalgamation with either black or yellow races. Sayers then gives overviews of the ancient civilizations of India, Egypt, the Far East, the Middle East, and ancient North and South America, exploring those regions' cultures for signs of originating white races-and how those civilizations collapsed after the process of racial amalgamation took place. He then moves on to discuss the racial histories of Europe and modern America. Although not a Nordicist, Sayers concluded that almost all of southern Europe was of mixed racial origin going back to historical times, and that America was in grave peril due to the large number of blacks, mixed race Hispanics, and others who were already present there. Sayers also argued that Jews were the "purest form of Europeans," and cited biblical injunctions against race-mixing which he said had guaranteed their racial purity. His conclusion is that the white race could only be saved if it realized that it was one people, not many nations, and that a white world government would come into being which would end all internecine conflicts. In addition, he wrote, all the nonwhite or mixed races had to be physically separated from the whites and sent back to their original homelands.
