Eugenics -- the study of human racial progress through selective
breeding -- frequently invokes images of social engineering,
virulent racism, immigrant persecution, and Nazi genocide, but
Vermont's little known adventure in eugenics shows the inherent
adaptability of eugenics theory and methods to parochial social
justice. Beginning with genealogies of Vermont's rural poor in the
1920s, and concluding in the 1930s with an expose of ethnic
prejudice in Vermont's largest city, this story of the Eugenics
Survey of Vermont explores the scope, limits, and changing
interpretations of eugenics in America and offers a new approach to
the history of progressive politics and social reform in New
England.
