Summary: Full of nonsense, but educational in unexpected ways...
Comment: I gave this book 3 stars because it is completely full of Politically Correct nonsense that flies in the face of billions of years of evolutionary history plainly available to modern science. It has value to me mainly in that we can see here clearly the mind-numbng effects of social pressures and politically correct mindsets. It is very educational about the effects of the brainwashing we receive on these topics every day. She talks about race as being a "constructed" concept--basically saying we made it up--yet it is a fact of nature that we differ in various races according to a whole constellation of physical and mental characteristics. Our cultures are very different also as a result. Pretty shocking stuff that she would say this was made up... You must read this book for this reason alone. That is why I gave it 3 stars.

Summary: Well Researched and Provoking
Comment: This book provokes! Well researched (many original sources) it clearly shows how eugenics has been an on-going and central part of the national dialogue. I like the book too because it shows how both the left and the right use eugenics rhetoric to employ their politic. Turns out that eugenics is not a freakish back-room operation just used by hitler but actually saturates the way politicians, the legal system and various american factions and individuals express themselves in public policy. Racist, sexist, and homophobic ideology are the nutrients that strengthen the American eugenics movement today. Scary!
