The Super Race

The Super Race: An American Problem is a book written by Scott Nearing and published in 1912. The book explores the concept of eugenics and the idea of creating a superior race through selective breeding and sterilization. Nearing argues that this idea, which was gaining popularity in the United States at the time, is dangerous and morally wrong. He discusses the history of eugenics, its proponents and opponents, and the potential consequences of implementing such policies. Nearing also examines the social and economic factors that contribute to the rise of eugenics, including poverty, immigration, and the fear of racial degeneration. He concludes that eugenics is a misguided and harmful solution to social problems, and that it is the responsibility of individuals and society as a whole to work towards a more just and equitable future. The Super Race: An American Problem is a thought-provoking and timely examination of a controversial topic that continues to resonate today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
