Contents/Summary

Summary
Population Politics in Twentieth Century Europe dymystifies the population policies of fascist regimes by looking at them in the wider context of how societies in general reacted to the profound economic changes brought by industrialization. Until now, aspects of the subject -- racism and sexism in Nazi ideology, Eugenics in England, family allowance schemes and sterilization in France -- have been treated within a strictly national perspective. Maria Sophia Quine's broad, cross-cutting attack fills a major gap in the literature. The book is an ambitious comparative approach which will command wide interest from political and social historians, sociologists and political scientists.
