Kurzbeschreibung
This book traces the convergence between anarchism, as an anti-authoritarian, anti-statist political doctrine, and eugenics, the science of ‘race improvement’ in five countries between 1890 and 1940.

Anarchist eugenics, womens bodies and the dilemma of sterilisation4. Conclusion
Beschreibung
At the heart of this book is what would appear to be a striking and fundamental paradox: the espousal of a scientific doctrine that sought to eliminate dysgenics and champion the fit as a means of race survival by a political and social movement that ostensibly believed in the destruction of the state and the removal of all hierarchical relationships. What explains this reception of eugenics by anarchism? How was eugenics mobilised by anarchists as part of their struggle against capitalism and the state? What were the consequences of this overlap for both anarchism and eugenics as transnational movements?
