Such an understudied topic, and so so important for today’s society. I taught social policy and feel that the recent non fiction books I’ve requested from NetGalley could all slip seamlessly into the curriculum, this included. The content is well researched and referenced. I’ve suggested this book to a friend of mine who still teaches. Super informative

I got this as an arc on Netgalley and it will come out in October. As a disabled person who has to struggle with the impact of eugenics, I read about it a lot. It's important. This book started good as it comes to being informative of eugenics racist history. But calling intervention, in a book about eugenics, towards disabilities and calling stopping disabled people from existing a possible good idea in a throw away comment is where you lose me. There are better books on eugenics racist history. Unfortunately, it happens to regularly with white authors that intersectionality isn't fully looked at.
