Více o knize

The book offers a comprehensive analysis of Ernest William Barnes' Christian-eugenic philosophy, termed 'bio-spiritual determinism.' It situates mid-twentieth century British eugenics within a variety of discourses, including modernism, poverty, gender equality, and racism, reflecting the movement's widespread influence. By addressing the academic gap on Christian eugenics, it reveals the enduring presence of eugenic racism even after World War Two, providing crucial insights into the complexities of these ideologies.
