Amir Teicher challenges the preoccupation with Darwin's eugenic legacy by uncovering the extent to which Gregor Mendel's theory of heredity became crucial in the formation (and radicalization) of eugenic ideas. Through an analysis of the entrenchment of genetic thinking in the social and political policies in Germany between 1900 and 1948, Teicher exposes how Mendelian heredity became saturated with cultural meaning, fed racial anxieties, reshaped the ideal of the purification of the German national body, and ultimately defined eugenic programs. Drawing on scientific manuscripts and memoirs, bureaucratic correspondence, court records, school notebooks, and Hitler's table talk as well as popular plays and films, Social Mendelism presents a new paradigm for understanding links between genetics and racism, and between biological and social thought"--Provided by the publisher. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 600 10 Mendel, Gregor, |d1822-1884 |xInfluence. 650 0 Eugenics |zGermany |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Mendel's law. 650 0 Involuntary sterilization |zGermany |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Racism |zGermany |xHistory |y20th century. 651 0 Germany |xRace relations. 651 0 Germany |xPolitics and government |y1871-1933. 651 0 Germany |xPolitics and government |y1933-1945. 600 12 Mendel, Gregor, |d1822-1884. 650 12 Eugenics |xhistory. |0(DNLM)D005053Q000266 650 22 Politics. |0(DNLM)D011057 650 22 Racism |xhistory. |0(DNLM)D063505Q000266 650 22 History, 20th Century. |0(DNLM)D049673 651 2 Germany. |0(DNLM)D005858 600 17 Mendel, Gregor, |d1822-1884. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00012594 650 7 Eugenics. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00916432 650 7 Influence (Literary, artistic, etc.) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00972484 650 7 Involuntary sterilization. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01430556 650 7 Mendel's law. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01016117 650 7 Politics and government. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 Race relations. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01086509 650 7 Racism. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01086616 651 7 Germany. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01210272 600 17 Mendel, Gregor, |d1822-1884 |xInfluence. |2nli 650 7 Eugenics |zGermany |xHistory |y20th century. |2nli 650 7 Mendel's law. |2nli 650 7 Involuntary sterilization |zGermany |xHistory |y20th century. |2nli 650 7 Racism |zGermany |xHistory |y20th century. |2nli 651 7 Germany |xRace relations. |2nli 651 7 Germany |xPolitics and government |y1871-1933. |2nli 651 7 Germany |xPolitics and government |y1933-1945. |2nli 648 7 1871-1999 |2fast 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 650 7 Racism. |2homoit 776 08 |iOnline version:Teicher, Amir, 1978- |tSocial Mendelism. |dCambridge, United Kingdom ; New York : Cambridge University Press, 2019 |z9781108583190 |w(DLC) 2019038326 852 0 |bscstacks |hHQ755.5.G3 |iT45 2020
