Measuring manhood : race and the science of masculinity, 1830-1934 / Melissa N. Stein

Minneapolis [u.a.] : University of Minnesota Press, 2015

354 S. : Ill.

"From the 'gay gene' to the 'female brain' and African American students' insufficient 'hereditary background' for higher education, arguments about a biological basis for human difference have reemerged in the twenty-first century. Measuring Manhood shows where they got their start. Melissa N. Stein analyzes how race became the purview of science in nineteenth- and early twentieth-century America and how it was constructed as a biological phenomenon with far-reaching social, cultural, and political resonances.
