Описание: Madison Grant's controversial work, which advances the idea of a superior Nordic race, was published at a time when immigration to the United States was at a historic high. As a eugenicist, Madison Grant believed that it was necessary for the USA to initiate a breeding program, that the original white Protestant settlers not lose their heritage and culture. For the author, the rapid increase in populations of Southern and Eastern Europeans, plus other races, would undermine, corrupt or even destroy the United States. The book commences by proscribing a social manifesto to address the marginalization of the original white populations. Grant concludes that without a eugenics program the historically modest breeding records of the original colonialists, coupled with the high numbers of non-Nordic immigrants, would render the original population effectively extinct within a few decades. The second, lengthier part of the book is Madison Grant's history upon the races of humanity. His theory concerns a differentiation of characteristics, identifying how the Mediterranean, Alpine and Nordic peoples behave distinctly. Finally the theory of the Aryan peoples and their origins is advanced. Since its original publication in 1916, the manual has been repudiated for its attitudes regarding race. The ideas Grant espouses regarding eugenics fell out of favor in the USA by the 1930s, and in Europe following the Second World War. Modern scientists and historians consider this work to be among the foremost examples of scientific racism of the 20th century.

2018 Reprint of 1933 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition software. Illustrated with Maps. A leading conservationist in the United States, Madison Grant's preoccupation with biodiversity was not limited to wildlife, but also extended to humans, particularly where that biodiversity intersected with the wider sweep of history, its meaning and interpretation, and government policy. Grant provides here a racial and ethnic history of the European settlement of North America, spanning from the ancient nations of Europe to the United States of his day. His thesis was that the United States was settled mostly by Northwestern Europeans, particularly English and Ulster Scots. To his mind, this relative homogeneity, plus the generally high quality of these enterprising settlers, conferred upon the new nation its prosperity, cohesion, stability, and defining cultural characteristics.
Grant was concerned that then recent waves of immigration from poorer parts of Europe would lead to social instability, division, economic decline, and a growing underclass. He also thought that the failure to deal with problems left by slavery stored trouble for the future. Grant's represents today an unfashionable opinion, and his framework of analysis--not to mention his Nordic bias--makes him seem biased and outdated. Yet, he remains historically important. The old arguments have not gone away: as in Europe, they are being updated and revisited in the United States, which is now more socially unstable and more divided than previously thought possible.
