Physical Anthropology, Race and Eugenics in Greece (1880sâ1970s)
Series: - Balkan Studies Library, Volume: 11
Author:
Before it became established as an academic discipline, physical anthropology emerged as a contested notion of reference to the cosmological views associated with the Darwinian theory of evolution and its implementation by the natural sciences. However, its subsequent development points to a science which made holistic claims regarding its ability to explore humankind in its entirety and to influence society, with its involvement in politics, as well as racial and eugenic concepts serving as the vehicle for doing so. This book explores the emergence of physical anthropology in the modern Greek state and its development over a period of one century from the viewpoint of the proclaimed intention of its representatives to influence societal developments. The book is the first to subject Greek racial and eugenic discourse to detailed research.
Sevasti Trubeta, PhD (1998) in Sociology, Humboldt University Berlin, is currently an assistant professor for sociology at the University of the Aegean (Greece). She has published articles, monographs and edited volumes on minorities, humanitarianism, eugenics and hygiene, with a regional focus on South Eastern Europe, in the English, German and Greek languages.
