II Eugenics and racial hygiene in national contexts -- ̂ Summary The history of eugenics and racial nationalism in Central and Southeast Europe is a neglected topic of analysis in contemporary scholarship. The 20 essays in this volume, written by distinguished scholars of eugenics and fascism alongside a new generation of scholars, excavate the hitherto unknown eugenics movements in Central and Southeast Europe, including Austria and Germany. Eugenics and racial nationalism are topics that have constantly been marginalized and rated as incompatible with local national traditions in Central and Southeast Europe. These topics receive new treatment here. On the one hand, the historiographic perspective connects developments in the history of anthropology and eugenics with political ideologies such as racial nationalism and anti-Semitism; on the other hand, it contests the 'Sonderweg' approach adopted by scholars dealing with these issues Notes Includes index Print version record Subject Eugenics -- Europe, Central -- History -- 20th century Eugenics -- Balkan Peninsula -- History -- 20th century Racism -- Europe, Central -- History -- 20th century Racism -- Balkan Peninsula -- History -- 20th century Nationalism -- Europe, Central -- History -- 20th century Nationalism -- Balkan Peninsula -- History -- 20th century SOCIAL SCIENCE -- General.
