{"product_id":"9780820481463","title":"Eugenics and Education in America: Institutionalized Racism and the Implications of History, Ideology, and Memory","description":"\u003cp\u003eEducation in America was designed to organize, classify, and sort students according to a definition of ability and human worth provided by a racialized scientism known as eugenics – an ideology whose ultimate goal was the establishment of a superior White race. Eugenicists targeted entire ethnic groups, the urban poor, rural «White trash,» the sexually «deviant,» Blacks, Jews, Native Americans, Asians, Latino\/as, and anyone who did not fit with the pseudo-scientifically established «superior» Nordic race. Education leaders, complaining of children of «worm-eaten stock,» established an enduring system to organize and sort students according to perceived societal worth. In exposing and addressing eugenics’ place in our educational system, this book provides a groundbreaking addition to, and exceptional correction of, the history of curriculum in America.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang Publishing Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47030758146288,"sku":"9780820481463","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780820481463_p0.jpg?v=1763743268","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780820481463","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
