Supported by public authorities, Ungemach aimed to accelerate human evolution by increasing procreation among eugenically selected parents. This experiment highlights the enduring influence of eugenics, even after it was discredited as pseudoscience, in fields such as developmental psychology, postwar policymaking, and liberal-democratic ideals of personal fulfillment. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e                                                            \u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 248 pages\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 01 December 2019\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e                          \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWell into the 1980s, a curious and little-noted experiment took place in Strasbourg, France. Ungemach, a garden city dating back to the high days of eugenic experimentation, offered luxury living to couples who were deemed biologically fit and committed to contractual childbearing targets. Supported by public authorities, Ungemach aimed to accelerate human evolution by increasing procreation among eugenically selected parents. In this fascinating history, Paul-André Rosental gives an account of Ungemach's origins and its perplexing longevity. He casts a troubling light on the influence that eugenics continues to exert—even decades after being discredited as a pseudoscience—in realms as diverse as developmental psychology, postwar policymaking, and liberal-democratic ideals of personal fulfilment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWell into the 1980s, a curious and little-noted experiment took place in Strasbourg, France.
