Summary
Details

""Race Improvement or Eugenics: A Little Book on a Great Subject"" by La Reine Helen Baker delves into the controversial field of eugenics, exploring ideas surrounding heredity and the potential for ""race improvement."" A product of its time, this work examines the application of then-current understandings of genetics and social Darwinism to societal concerns. Baker's book, categorized under Social Sciences, offers a glimpse into the historical context of eugenics thought. It provides a unique perspective on early 20th-century discussions surrounding sociology, human anatomy & physiology, and social work, all viewed through the lens of eugenic principles. This meticulously prepared print republication allows readers to engage directly with a key historical text on this complex and ethically challenging subject.
