What Happened to Mexican Eugenics?: Racism and the Reproduction of the Nation

This thesis uses historical sociology to explore the ways in which eugenics was carried out in Mexico. Particularly, this research seeks to analyze the historical continuations of eugenic measures and ideas in Mexico and the ways in which this impacts and echoes in the twenty-first century. This, in turn, allows for an intersectional approach that engages with issues of gender, race, sexuality, science and technology, risk and the management of disease.
