The Guarded Gate: Bigotry, Eugenics And The Law That Kept Two Generations Of Jews, Italians, And Other European Immigrants Out Of America

"Daniel Okrent narrates his extensively researched work on the history of eugenics in the United States, illuminating a largely forgotten dark chapter of American history. Given the abundance of detail, Okrent's comfortably relaxed pace is beneficial as he thoroughly describes the birth of the American eugenics movement and its key figures. . . . Okrent's knowledge of the material and his presentation are assets to the production."
