PDF-(DOWNLOAD)-Picture Imperfect: Photography and Eugenics, 1879-1940

Picture Imperfect documents and critically analyzes the photographs that helped strengthen as well as bring down the Eugenics Movement Using a large body of racialtype images and a variety of historical and archival sources and concentrating mainly on developments in Britain the US and Nazi Germany the author argues that photography as the most powerful visual medium of the late 19th and early 20th centuries was vital to the Eugenics Movements success Not only did photography allow eugenicists to identify the people with superior and inferior hereditary traits but it helped publicize and lend scientific authority to eugenicists racial theories The author further argues for a strong connection between the racialtype photographs that eugenicists created and the photographic images produced by 19thcentury anthropologists and prison authorities and that the photographic works of contemporary liberal anthropologists played a significant role in the Eugenics Movements downfall Besides adding to our knowledge of photographys crucial role in helping to authorize and implement some of the most controversial social policies of modern times Picture Imperfect makes a major contribution to our understanding of the history of racism.

What would bring a physician to conclude that sterilization is appropriate treatment for the mentally ill and mentally handicapped? Using archival sources, Ian Robert Dowbiggin documents the involvement of both American and Canadian psychiatrists in the eugenics movement of the early twentieth century. He explains why professional men and women committed to helping those less fortunate than themselves arrived at such morally and intellectually dubious conclusions. Psychiatrists at the end of the nineteenth century felt professionally vulnerable, Dowbiggin explains, because they were under intense pressure from state and provincial governments and from other physicians to reform their specialty. Eugenic ideas, which dominated public health policy making, seemed the best vehicle for catching up with the progress of science. Among the prominent psychiatrist-eugenicists Dowbiggin considers are G. Alder Blumer, Charles Kirk Clarke, Thomas Salmon, Clare Hincks, and William Partlow. Tracing psychiatric support for eugenics throughout the interwar years, Dowbiggin pays special attention to the role of psychiatrists in the fierce debates about immigration policy. His examination of psychiatry\'s unfortunate flirtation with eugenics elucidates how professional groups come to think and act along common lines within specific historical contexts.
