Eugenics was a term coined in 1883 to name the scientific and social theory which advocated "race improvement" through selective human breeding. In Europe and the United States the eugenics movement found many supporters before it was finally discredited by its association with the racist ideology of Nazi Germany. Examining for the first time how eugenics was taken up by scientists and social reformers in Latin America, Nancy Leys Stepan compares the eugenics movements in Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina with the more familiar cases of Britain, the United States, and Germany.

Great Start for Learning about Eugenics in Latin America,
By
This review is from: "The Hour of Eugenics": Race, Gender, and Nation in Latin America (Paperback)
I used this book for a senior thesis paper. It was a good starting point for an overview of eugenics in Latin America. The downside to this book is that most of the information is a little old and a lot more has been written. What I really like about this book is that it lead me to other sources.
