What explains this reception of eugenics by anarchism? How was eugenics mobilised by anarchists as part of their struggle against capitalism and the state? What were the consequences of this overlap for both anarchism and eugenics as transnational movements?Contemporary anarchist studies (Manchester, England)AnarchismHistoryCross-cultural studies20th centuryEugenicsHistoryCross-cultural studies20th centuryAnarchismAnarchism.eugenics.neo-Malthusianism.science.AnarchismHistoryEugenicsHistoryAnarchism.363.9209467Cleminson Richard902351MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910822757203321Anarchism and eugenics4059785UNINA
