Race and Ethnicity in the Ancient and Anglo-Saxon Worlds

This lecture deals with the concept of ''us and them'' in Ancient and Medieval History.

What words did the Greeks, Romans, and Anglo-Saxons use to talk about different groups of people? What differences did they think were important? How do those compare to modern conceptions of ethnicity, national identity, or race? We try to give some basic background on this complicated question, starting with the etymology of the vocabulary and addressing some of the ways differences were conceptualized.

From Herodotus to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles, we see a very interesting history revolving around ethnicity, etymology and linguistics. Enjoy!

Like John Vennari (RIP) said "Why not just do it?  What would it hurt?"

The real nature of hope is "despair, overcome."
