Book excerpt: "At the vortex of the American eugenics tragedy was the seemingly sordid tale of a ''degenerate'' family from rural New Jersey. Published in 1912, The Kallikak Family was a pseudoscientific treatise describing generations of illiterate, poor, and purportedly immoral Kallikak family members who were chronically unemployed, ''feebleminded, '' criminal, and, in general, perceived as threats to ''racial hygiene.'' Psychologist Henry Herbert Goddard invented the pseudonym ''Kallikak''-from the Greek words Kallos (beauty) and Kakos (bad)-to illustrate the eugenic belief in the role of nature and heredity as unalterable forces leading to degeneracy, and his tale of the contrasting fates of the disparate Kallikak ancestral lines reigned for decades as seemingly conclusive proof of the hereditary nature of intelligence, feeblemindedness, criminal behavior, and degeneracy. The starting point for Goddard's moral tale was ''Deborah Kallikak, '' an inmate at his institution for the feebleminded. In the 100 years since publication of The Kallikak Family, the woman Goddard called ''Deborah'' has remained in the shadows of history, known only by the name forced upon her. Using new source material, Good Blood, Bad Blood tells her story in its entirety-in dramatic, narrative style-for the first time. It is a landmark publication in disability studies, vital to understanding of both this specific American tragedy and the history of efforts to manipulate the human population."--Back cover.
