Description

Explore a detailed historical analysis of Portuguese eugenics through this academic monograph from Central European University Press. This study places the development of eugenic thought in Portugal within a broad international and comparative historiographical framework. By examining various regional, scientific, and ideological types of eugenics during the 1900-1950 period, the text provides a clear understanding of how these movements operated in a specific European context. The author examines the specific factors that limited the growth of eugenics in Portugal, including the low level of institutionalization, the influence of Catholic opposition, and the conservative nature of the Salazar regime. Readers will learn how eugenic science was expressed through individualized studies on mental health and biotypological perspectives. This book is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in the history of medicine, sociology, and the intersection of religion and science in early 20th-century Europe.
