A Human Garden: French Policy and the Transatlantic Legacies of Eugenic Experimentation

Paul-André Rosental, "A Human Garden: French Policy and the Transatlantic Legacies of Eugenic Experimentation "
English | ISBN: 1789205433 | 2019 | 248 pages | PDF | 7 MB

Well into the 1980s, Strasbourg, France, was the site of a curious and little-noted experiment: Ungemach, a garden city dating back to the high days of eugenic experimentation that offered luxury living to couples who were deemed biologically fit and committed to contractual childbearing targets.
