This reader on the history of demography and historical
perspectives on "population" in the twentieth century features a
unique collection of primary sources from around the globe, written
by scholars, politicians, journalists, and activists. Many of the
sources are available in English for the first time. Background
information is provided on each source. Together, the sources
mirror the circumstances under which scientific knowledge about
"population" was produced, how demography evolved as a discipline,
and how demographic developments were interpreted and discussed in
different political and cultural settings. Readers thereby gain
insight into the historical precedents on debates on race,
migration, reproduction, natural resources, development and
urbanization, the role of statistics in the making of the nation
state, and family structures and gender roles, among others. The
reader is designed for undergraduate and graduate students as well
as scholars in the fields of demography and population studies as
well as to anyone interested in the history of science and
knowledge.
