Parenthood And Race Culture

""Parenthood And Race Culture: An Outline Of Eugenics"" is a book written by Caleb Williams Saleeby in 1909. The book explores the concept of eugenics, which is the study of improving the genetic quality of the human population through selective breeding and sterilization. Saleeby argues that eugenics is necessary to improve the health and intelligence of future generations, and that it is the responsibility of parents to ensure that their children have the best possible genetic makeup. The book discusses the role of race in eugenics, with Saleeby arguing that some races are superior to others in terms of intelligence and physical health. He also explores the importance of environmental factors in determining a child's genetic makeup, including nutrition, education, and social environment. Saleeby advocates for the establishment of eugenics policies, such as compulsory sterilization of those deemed ""unfit"" to reproduce, and the encouragement of ""fit"" individuals to have more children. Despite its controversial subject matter, ""Parenthood And Race Culture: An Outline Of Eugenics"" was a popular book in its time and is still studied today as an example of early eugenics literature. However, it is important to note that eugenics has been widely discredited as a pseudoscience and has been used to justify racist and discriminatory policies in the past.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
