“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)
“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)
“Turda has presented a new paradigm for the study of eugenics that will no doubt prove influential in years to come.” (Bradley W. Hart, California State University, Patterns of Prejudice)

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Is the nation an 'imagined community' centered on culture or rather a biological community determined by heredity Modernism and Eugenics examines this question from a bifocal perspective. On the one hand, it looks at technologies through which the individual body was re-defined eugenically by a diverse range of European scientists and politicians between 1870 and 1940; on the other, it illuminates how the national community was represented by eugenic discourses that strove to battle a perceived process of cultural decay and biological degeneration. In the wake of a renewed interest in the history of science and fascism, Modernism and Eugenics treats the history of eugenics not as distorted version of crude social Darwinism that found its culmination in the Nazi policies of genocide but as an integral part of European modernity, one in which the state and the individual embarked on an unprecedented quest to renew an idealized national community. A refreshingly provocative reading of eugenic theories of biological improvement and of their complex relationship to modern biopolitics and political ideologies like nationalism and fascism 208 pp. Englisch.
