Between Germanic and Latin eugenics: Portugal, 1930-1960, Richard Mark Cleminson, Hist. cienc. saude-Manguinhos vol.23  supl.1 Rio de Janeiro Dec. 2016

Richard Mark Cleminson, Professor of  Spanish, Portuguese and Latin American Studies at the University of Leeds,  assesses critically the participation of Portuguese eugenicists in “Latin eugenics”.

The paper aims to place Portuguese eugenics within the range of movements labeled as  “Latin” eugenics, and to assess the relevance of the specific issue of “miscegenation”.

In particular, it focuses on a number of examples of more “Germanic” eugenics in contrast to its Latin versions.
