In the Sight of God

Jacob Wendell Clark

4.9/5 (28960 ratings)

Description:Written before the horrors of WWII, this novel advocates the use of eugenics, the study of human improvement by genetic means.The first thorough exposition of eugenics was made by Francis Galton, who in Hereditary Genius (1869) proposed that a system of arranged marriages between men of distinction and women of wealth would eventually produce a gifted race. The American Eugenics Society, founded in 1926,(two years after the publication of In The Sight of God) supported Galton's theories. U.S. eugenicists also supported restriction on immigration from nations with “inferior” stock, such as Italy, Greece, and countries of eastern Europe, and argued for the sterilization of insane, retarded, and epileptic citizens. Sterilization laws were passed in more than half the states, and isolated instances of involuntary sterilization continued into the 1970s in the U.S. The village of Wyoming, Delaware, was the model for Helltown, the location of the controversial novel.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
