Sex, Race, and Science- Eugenics in the Deep South

Cover of ISBN 080185511XSex, Race, and Science
Eugenics in the Deep South:
Book by Edward J. Larson. The Johns Hopkins University Press 264 pages Paperback Published 1996-09-30. Description: Before Summer for the Gods, his Pulitzer-winning history of the Scopes trial, Edward J. Larson wrote this incisive history of eugenics--the study of hereditary improvement of the human race through selective breeding--in the American South of the early 20th century.

Although Southerners were hardly the only people preoccupied with sex and race, their response to eugenic theories was recongizably distinctive in its enthusiasm. Larson provides a detailed analysis of the various state laws and public policies--and the forces behind their implementation. As he demonstrates, Southern eugenics was not merely a matter of preventing the "white race" from being "tainted" by African-American blood; great concern also existed regarding the widespread reproduction of the "unfit" (physically and mentally disabled), with sterilization frequently proposed as a solution. With his concise prose style, Larson makes this broad topic, which has continued relevance as our medical and genetic technologies become more and more refined, accessible to the general reader.Description:

"Sex, Race and Science is meticulously researched. It will undoubtedly be seen as the major resource on the history of involuntary sterilization laws in this region for a long time." -- Philip Reilly, Medical Humanities Review

"The Hour of Eugenics"- Race, Gender, and Nation in Latin America

Cover of ISBN 0801497957"The Hour of Eugenics"
Race, Gender, and Nation in Latin America:
Book by Nancy Leys Stepan. Cornell University Press 210 pages Paperback Published 1996-11. Description: Eugenics was a term coined in 1883 to name the scientific and social theory which advocated "race improvement" through selective human breeding. In Europe and the United States the eugenics movement found many supporters before it was finally discredited by its association with the racist ideology of Nazi Germany. Examining for the first time how eugenics was taken up by scientists and social reformers in Latin America, Nancy Leys Stepan compares the eugenics movements in Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina with the more familiar cases of Britain, the United States, and Germany.
