Opis

In the first book to explore the theory and practice of eugenics in the American South, Edward J. Larson shows how the quest for -strong bloodlines-expressed itself in state laws and public policies from the Progressive Era through World War II. Larson shows how the seemingly broad-based eugenics movement was in fact a series of distinct campaigns by small groups of determined individuals for legislation at the state level.
