Well into the 1980s, Strasbourg, France, was the site of a curious
and little-noted experiment: Ungemach, a garden city dating back to
the high days of eugenic experimentation that offered luxury living
to couples who were deemed biologically fit and committed to
contractual childbearing targets. Supported by public authorities,
Ungemach aimed to accelerate human evolution by increasing
procreation among eugenically selected parents. In this fascinating
history, Paul-Andre Rosental gives an account of Ungemach's origins
and its perplexing longevity. He casts a troubling light on the
influence that eugenics continues to exert-even decades after being
discredited as a pseudoscience-in realms as diverse as
developmental psychology, postwar policymaking, and
liberal-democratic ideals of personal fulfilment.
