Eugenical Sterilization in the United States (1922)

Harry Hamilton Laughlin

""Eugenical Sterilization In The United States"" is a book written by Harry Hamilton Laughlin and published in 1922. The book is a comprehensive study of the eugenics movement in the United States, which advocated for the improvement of the human race through selective breeding and sterilization. Laughlin, who was a leading figure in the eugenics movement, argues in the book that the sterilization of individuals deemed ""unfit"" for reproduction is necessary for the betterment of society. He provides a detailed history of the eugenics movement in the United States, including its origins, key figures, and legislative efforts to implement eugenic policies. The book also includes case studies of individuals who were sterilized under eugenic laws, as well as statistical data on the effectiveness of sterilization programs. Overall, ""Eugenical Sterilization In The United States"" is a controversial and thought-provoking work that sheds light on a dark chapter in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
