Eugenics in the Baltics -- part 2. Eugenics in the Baltic Sea Region.The history of eugenics in the Baltic States is largely unknown. The book compares for the first time the eugenic projects of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania and the related disciplines of racial anthropology and psychiatry, and situates them within the wider European context. Strong ethno-nationalism defined the nation as a biological group, which was fostered by authoritarian regimes established in Lithuania in 1926, and in Estonia and Latvia in 1934. The eugenics projects were designed to establish a nation in biological terms. Their aims were to render the nation ethnically, genetically and racially homogeneous. The main agenda was a non-democratic state that defined its population in biological terms. Eugenic policies were to regenerate the nation and to reconstruct it as a “pure” and “original” race, Such schemes for national regeneration contained strong elements of secular religion.On the boundary of two worlds ;35.EugenicsBaltic StatesEstoniaPolitics and government1918-1940LatviaPolitics and government1918-1940LithuaniaPolitics and government1918-1940Eugenics362.109496Felder Björn M1567212Weindling Paul J262318MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910790835603321Baltic eugenics3838432UNINA
