Books by Paul (University of Oxford) Weindling

Analysis of the orgins of the holocaust traditionally centres around voelkisch racial ideologies, overlooking the effects of racial ideas on biology and health. Based on a wealth of hitherto neglected archival sources, this book analyses the origins, social composition and impact of eugenics in the context of the social and political tension of an industrialising empire.

This book provides a series of original studies of international health and welfare organisations between the Wars. It will interest students of international relations, social history, gender studies, history of science and medicine, as well as those concerned with international aid.
