Discusses several fundamental themes of the comparative history of eugenics: the importance of the Latin eugenic model; the relationship between eugenics and fascism; the influence of Catholicism on the eugenic discourse and the complex links between genetics and eugenics. It examines the Liberal pre-fascist period and the post-WW2 transition from fascist and racial eugenics to medical and human genetics. As far as fascist eugenics is concerned, the book provides a refreshing analysis, considering Italian eugenics as the most important case-study in order to define Latin eugenics as an alternative model to its Anglo-American, German and Scandinavian counterparts. Analyses in detail the nature-nurture debate during the State racist campaign in fascist Italy (1938?1943) as a boundary tool in the contraposition between the different institutional, political and ideological currents of fascist racism. 410 0$aCEU Press studies in the history of medicine ;$vv. 3. 606 $aEugenics$zItaly$xHistory 606 $aGenetics$zItaly$xHistory 615 0$aEugenics$xHistory. 615 0$aGenetics$xHistory. 676 $a363.9/2 700 $aCassata$b Francesco$0303456 701 $aO'Loughlin$b Erin$0981159 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910139648103321 996 $aBuilding the new man$92239434 997 $aUNINA
