Overview

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.


"The Passing of the Great Race" by Madison Grant is a provocative and controversial work first published in 1916. As an influential book in the early 20th century, it explores theories of racial purity and the impact of immigration on the genetic makeup of the United States and Europe. Grant, an American lawyer and eugenicist, argues for the preservation of the so-called "Nordic" race, which he believed was threatened by the influx of people from Southern and Eastern Europe. This audiobook delves into Grant's perspectives on heredity, anthropology, and race, offering insights into the social and scientific context of the time. While Grant's views have been widely discredited and criticized for their racist undertones, "The Passing of the Great Race" remains a significant historical document for understanding the origins and development of eugenic thought in America. Prepare to explore a controversial piece of history that continues to spark debate and reflection.
