Well Researched and Provoking
24. März 2003
Format:Taschenbuch
This book provokes! Well researched (many original sources) it clearly shows how eugenics has been an on-going and central part of the national dialogue. I like the book too because it shows how both the left and the right use eugenics rhetoric to employ their politic. Turns out that eugenics is not a freakish back-room operation just used by hitler but actually saturates the way politicians, the legal system and various american factions and individuals express themselves in public policy. Racist, sexist, and homophobic ideology are the nutrients that strengthen the American eugenics movement today. Scary!

The Pervasiness of American Eugenics
14. März 2005
Format:Taschenbuch
Ordover's well-focused historical eye counteracts the problematic tendency to minimize America's brutality in the constructions of race and sexual orientation; these constructions serve liberal and conservative politic and scientic thought but which yield devastating consequences for the actual lives under the microscope. Her rigorous research deserves accolades. Subtle eugenicist-thought pervades so much contemporary debate on issues from immigration to gay rights. Amazing book.

The Bogus Concept of Race
29. Januar 2004
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This book documents the immeasurable harm that can be generated from a pseudo-scientific concept, such as 'race.' It has been demonstrated repeatedly by the science of genetics that the concept of 'race' is scientifically invalid.
Though European physical anthropologists of the 17th and 18th centuries proposed various systems of racial classifications based on such observable characteristics as skin color, hair type, body proportions, and skull measurements, codifying the perceived differences among broad geographic populations of humans, sciences of the 20th and 21st centuries now know that these are bogus and logically unsupported classifications.
Even the term 'Caucasian'--used almost exclusively to mean "white" or "European" actually includes a variety of peoples generally categorized as nonwhite.
As 20th and 21st century science now shows, the biological aspect of race is described today not in observable physical features but rather in genetic characteristics and metabolic processes. More specifically, so-called 'racial' and 'ethnic' categorizations cannot account for either the uniqueness or the universality of human populations evident in new knowledge in human genome sequence variation research. Human identity based on 'race' is suspect in light of the preponderance of data on human genome sequence variation
Differences between human groups must be accounted for more in terms of genetic variation and genetic drift, with distribution across populations that is continuous and overlapping.
This means that a person who is considered black in one society might be nonblack in another. Most cultural anthropologists now consider race to be more a social or mental construct than an objective biological fact. Any observed correlations with traditional concepts of race are not only seriously limited but must be considered bogus.
This scientific fact may disappoint those persons of a racist bent, such as members of the National Alliance, but science does not support the concept of race.
