Product Description
Review
'Modernism and Eugenics is aimed at academic and popular audiences, and certainly deserves wide readership. Historians of medicine will benefit from seeing eugenics as a modernist phenomenon...General readers and students, meanwhile, will find it a concise and well-argued introduction to one of the most troubling episodes in the history of medicine.' Ducan Wilson, University of Manchester, Social History of Medicine 'The most authoritative single-authored work on the transnational eugenics movement yet produced, Turda's book represents the cutting edge of research. Modernism and Eugenics raises compelling and difficult questions about the relationship of eugenics with race, modernity and nationalism that will be debated for a long time to come.' - Dan Stone, Professor of Modern History, Royal Holloway, University of London '...Turda's book offers a very concise primer on the discourse of eugenics for scholars interested in the transnational character of eugenics in Europe in the turbulent years of 1870-1940.' - Routledge ABES June 2011 '...Modernism and Eugenics adds a new, doubtless illuminating, perspective to the historiography.' - European Review of History, Liisi Keedus, Tartu University 'Turda significantly enhances and complicates the history of eugenics by advancing several compelling claims that engage with central historiographical themes...' - Medical History, Devon Stillwell, McMaster University
