About This Book
The author mounts a scientific-sounding polemic asserting that racial purity should be preserved, arguing from historical comparison, ethnology, and numerical claims that people of African descent are inherently inferior and that interracial mixing will cause social decline. Chapters set up the race-versus-individual framing, interrogate alleged innate differences versus environmental causes, answer opposing views, and sketch demographic and future consequences; the work combines selective historical examples, purported statistics, and speculative projections to advocate segregationist and eugenic measures while maintaining a polemical and certifying tone.
