- The book provides the only book-length study of the somewhat paradoxical reception of the science of eugenics within the anarchist movement in five countries, Argentina, Britain, France, Portugal and Spain, at the beginning of the twentieth century. It draws on a huge range of archive and library materials from these countries, places the reception of eugenics within national and international frameworks and fundamentally reappraises the existing historiography of both the labour movement's relation with scientific thought and the varieties of eugenics which existed across the world during the period.
