The Passing Of The Great Race Or The Racial Basis Of European History - Hardcover

by Madison Grant (Author), Henry Fairfield Osborn (Foreword by)

The Passing of the Great Race, or The Racial Basis of European History is a controversial book written by Madison Grant in 1916. The book focuses on the concept of race and its impact on the history of Europe. Grant argues that the white Nordic race is superior to all other races and that the decline of this race will lead to the downfall of Western civilization. He also argues that the mixing of races will lead to the degeneration of the human race. The book has been criticized for its racist and eugenicist views, and it has been used as a basis for Nazi ideology. Despite its controversial nature, The Passing of the Great Race has had a significant impact on the study of race and ethnicity in the United States and Europe.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
