Madison Grant

Об авторе

Madison Grant was an influential American eugenicist, conservationist, and lawyer, best known for his role in the early 20th-century eugenics movement. He was a key figure in promoting the idea of racial purity, advocating for policies that sought to restrict immigration and encourage selective breeding among those he deemed 'fit.' He authored several books, including "The Passing of the Great Race," which argued for the superiority of the Nordic race and warned against the potential decline of civilization due to immigration from non-Nordic populations. Grant's ideas had a significant impact on immigration policies in the United States and influenced racial theories in Europe.
