About this book
In the early 20th century, the eugenics movement gained traction, advocating for the selective breeding of humans to enhance societal traits. In "Parenthood and Race Culture: An Outline of Eugenics," C. W. Saleeby delves into the controversial intersections of genetics and social policy, emphasizing the significance of parenthood in shaping racial qualities. This scientific publication scrutinizes the moral and ethical implications of eugenics, urging readers to consider the impact of hereditary factors on societal progress. Ideal for historians, civic activists, and students of social science, this work challenges prevailing norms and invites critical discourse on the responsibilities of parenthood and the complex narratives of race. Engage with Saleeby’s insights to better understand the historical context of these ideas.
