Description

Explore the global impact of eugenic thought with The Oxford Handbook of the History of Eugenics. Published by Oxford University Press, this award-winning book is the winner of the Cantemir Prize of the Berendel Foundation. It examines how eugenics functioned as a transnational phenomenon from the late nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century. The text traces how these ideas influenced social and scientific policy across various political landscapes. You will learn how eugenics shaped liberal welfare measures, feminist birth control ambitions, public health campaigns, and even totalitarian goals regarding human perfectibility. This volume provides clarity for readers by dispelling the assumption that eugenics is exclusively linked to the Holocaust, offering a broader historical perspective on its widespread influence.
