Quatrième de couverture :
Richard Soloway shows that the appeal of eugenics in Britain before World War II was closely linked to concerns about possible "racial decline" as a result of the rapid spread of birth control practices among the "better classes," coupled with continued high fertility rates among the poor. In a preface to the paperback edition, he places his findings within the context of current policy debates.

"A magnificent piece of scholarship: immensely detailed, yet entertaining to read; sober in judgement, yet leavened by nice touches of whimsical humour; the product of first-rate archival research, yet with the thread of argument always clear." - Times Higher Education Supplement

"[Soloway] follows the eugenics and population debates through to the present, illuminating the interplay of ideas and social change .... [An] engrossing and scholarly study." - American Historical Review

"Soloway writes with elegance and clarity, presenting an impressive amount of scholarly information in a way that brings to life the arguments in their historical context . . . . [This book] will no doubt remain the standard work on eugenics in Britain for years to tome; it tan be enjoyed both by scholars and by a wider public with an interest in Britain, in the history of ideas, and in population." - Population and Development Review

Biographie de l'auteur :
Richard A. Soloway is Eugen Merzbacher Professor of History at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. His books include Birth Contrat and the Population Question in England, 1877-1930.
