For centuries, human perfection has been a powerful goal, but only
in the twentieth century were national states able to achieve the
capacity to impose radical change on entire societies in the name
of rooting out imperfections. The contributions to this volume
constitute an ambitious attempt to study a number of significant
efforts by twentieth-century states to reshape - either through
social policy or brute force - their societies and their
populations according to ideologies based on various theories of
human perfectibility. The cases examined include Germany during the
World War I, the Russian Revolution and the subsequent Soviet
regime, Germany under the Nazis, ethnic cleansing in the former
Yugoslavia, French anti-abortion policies in the interwar era, the
treatment of Japanese Americans during the World War II, attitudes
toward postwar Soviet Jewry, the changing role of Israeli war
widows, and the particular difficulties facing east central
European governments from the World War I until 1956.
