Summary

In "Right Above Race," Otto H. Kahn navigates the complex waters of racial identity, privilege, and systemic injustice with a thought-provoking blend of personal narrative and sociopolitical analysis. Kahn employs a nuanced literary style, weaving together autobiographical elements with detailed socio-historical context, prompting readers to interrogate their own positions within contemporary societal hierarchies. His exploration of race transcends mere academic discourse, delving deeply into the emotional and psychological ramifications of systemic racism, thereby inviting a broader reflection on the intersections of race, class, and power. Otto H. Kahn, a prominent sociologist and cultural critic, brings to this work a wealth of personal experience and scholarly expertise. With a background that includes extensive research on race relations and social equity, Kahn is uniquely positioned to shed light on the burdens and privileges associated with racial identities. His insights stem not only from rigorous academic investigation but also from a genuine commitment to fostering dialogue around issues of race in America, making his voice both authoritative and accessible. "Right Above Race" is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the intricacies of race and privilege in today's society. Kahn's engaging prose challenges readers to confront uncomfortable truths and encourages an honest examination of their own beliefs and biases. This book is a vital addition to the libraries of scholars, activists, and anyone who believes in the necessity of social justice.

    As the Western Roman Empire collapsed in the late 5th century, Hadrian’s Wall was abandoned and Roman control of the area broke down. Little is known of this period of British history, but soon the Anglo-Saxons – who had been harassing the Saxon Shore as pirates – showed up and began to settle the land, creating a patchwork of little kingdoms and starting a new era of British history. Several early medieval historians, writing well after the events, said the Anglo-Saxons were invited to Britain to defend the region from the northern tribes and ended up taking over. The Venerable Bede (672 or 673-735) said in his Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum (“Ecclesiastical History of the English People”) that in the year 449, “The British consulted what was to be done and where they should seek assistance to prevent or repel the cruel and frequent incursions of the northern nations. They all agreed with their king Vortigern to call over to their aid, from the parts beyond the sea, the Saxon nation. … The two first commanders are said to have been Hengist and Horsa.” 
However they came to control most of England, the Anglo-Saxons became the dominant power in the region for nearly 500 years, and the strength of their cultural influence could be felt even after William the Conqueror won the Battle of Hastings and became the first Norman ruler on the island. The efforts to consolidate his rule in England were complicated from the start, both due to external enemies and those jockeying for his position while he was still alive, but the Normans would manage just barely to cling to power over England, and William remains the last foreign conqueror of the island.
