| Summary: | In the afterword to this volume Stefan Kühl notes that when he initially published it in German a decade ago, he presumed that most scholars would have a working knowledge of German. As he soon learned, outside Europe this was not so, and his decision to produce an updated, English-language edition cannot be praised enough., Kühl's chronological overview of the creation, ascendency, and downfall of the international eugenics movement focuses on Germany, Britain, and the United States, although he does incorporate figures from other countries. |
