商品簡介
This volume examines the Transylvanian Saxon experiment with eugenics during the interwar years, 1919 to 1940, beginning with Transylvania's union with Romania. It focuses on the life and work of three figures--Henrich Siegmund, Alfred Csallner, and Wilhelm Schunn--and their contributions to eugenic discourse in the 1920s, and its gradual institutionalization through the church and the fascist Self-Help movement in the 1930s. It considers how viability of the eugenic discourse, given the Transylvanian Saxons' status as an ethnic minority, and identifies and defines a Saxon eugenic discourse in terms of its ideological imperatives and methodological means, detailing how these changed with the Self-Help's rise.
