Exclusions
Book • 2012
This book looks at the relationship between French law and medicine from 1920 to 1945.
Fette examines how legal and medical professionals debated and defined the boundaries of the French nation by excluding certain groups.
She offers a new perspective on the history of immigration, social hygiene, and eugenics in France, and the history of medicine and law.
The author focuses on three case studies: debates about naturalization policies and the definition of Frenchness; the development of social hygiene campaigns to protect the French race; and the rise of eugenic sterilization.
This book studies the relationship between law and medicine, and also provides a new understanding of the history of immigration, social hygiene, and eugenics in France.
