Opis

The anthropological history of an outcaste community and a critical reevaluation of The Nam Family, written in 1912 by Arthur Estabrook and Charles Davenport, leaders of the early twentieth-century eugenics movement. Declared Defective exposes the pseudoscientific zealotry and fear mongering of Progressive Era eugenics while exploring the contradictions of race and class in America.
