Description

Trade paperback. 478 pages. Notes, Bibliography, Index. Illustrated with black and white photographs. First edition, first printing of the Scribner paperback edition with full number line. A timely and ultimately depressing recounting of the early twentieth centuries embracing of the pseudoscience of eugenics which gave credence to peoples’ basest fears, both educated and uneducated alike, and led to some of the most restrictive immigration laws being passed in United States history. Previous owner’s small, round blind-stamp on lower portion of first leaf. No spine crease. No remainder mark. A clean, square, unmarked and apparently unread copy. Fine.
