摘要

这封信介绍了1939年美国社会学家和人口专家Norman Edwin Himes在“优生学与民主:行动的呼唤。希姆斯对优生学和民主的讨论有两个方面的相关性。首先,它提供了进一步的证据,证明在人口研究专家中,对优生学的普遍承诺远远超过了所谓的进步时代,并一直持续到整个20世纪30年代。其次,希姆斯的方法揭示了重新制定优生学恩达走的是“自由主义”路线,这是为了让他与进步前辈的胁迫和种族主义方法拉开距离。然而,这将表明,尽管希姆斯似乎用社会学和唯意志主义的语言缓和了早期运动的极端主义,但无论他明显转向民主优生学,他的议程的最终目标几乎没有实际变化。

Norman Edwin Himes's "Eugenics and Democracy: A Call to Action" (1939). The Eugenic Manifesto of a Devote Carverian
This note presents an unpublished 1939 address given by the American sociologist and population specialist Norman Edwin Himes on "Eugenics and Democracy: A Call to Action. Himes's discussion of eugenics and democracy has a two-fold relevance. First, it provides further evidence that among population studies specialists a generalized commitment to eugenics persisted well beyond the era of the so-called Progressive Era and continued throughout the 1930s. Second, Himes's approach reveals an attempt to reformulate a eugenic agenda along "liberal" lines, which was intended to distance him from the coercive and racialist approach of his progressive predecessors. Yet, it will be shown, even though Himes seemed to temper the extremism of the earlier movement with sociological and voluntaristic language, there was little actual change in the ultimate goals of his agenda regardless of the apparent switch to democratic eugenics.
