Central European University Press Health, Hygiene and Eugenics in SE Europe - CEU Press

Explore the complex history of medical development in Southeastern Europe through this scholarly collection from Central European University Press. This volume examines how health, hygiene, and eugenics shaped societies in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, and Romania up to 1945. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of how medical ideas moved through local, national, and international agencies. The text investigates the regional patterns found in public health, preventive medicine, and social hygiene. It also addresses important historical topics such as welfare, gender relations, and the evolution of eugenics within these specific territories. This work fills a significant gap in academic research by providing detailed insights into a region that has often been overlooked in the social history of medicine. It serves as a valuable resource for students, historians, and researchers interested in the medical and social transformations of Eastern Europe during this transformative period.
