His elaborate work on racial hygiene \u003cem\u003eThe Passing of the Great Race or the Racial Basis of European History\u0026nbsp;\u003c/em\u003eis considered one of the most influential books in the 20th-century tradition of scientific racism. The subtitle of the book refers to the key theory promoted by Grant \u0026ndash; the superiority of the Nordic race and its responsibility for human development. In the first part of the book Grant argues for the preservation of America as a Nordic race territory, consisting of Nordic immigrants from the founding stock of Anglo-Saxons and other Nordics from north-western Europe. The second part provides an extensive categorisation of the three European races: Nordic, Alpine and Mediterranean through the analysis of their history, and physical and mental characteristics. A strong advocate of racial inequality and rankings, Grant assumes that the achievements of Mediterranean civilisation of Antiquity were only possible due to admixture with Nordics. In Grant\u0026rsquo;s theory, the lowest position is assigned to the Alpines. Other ideas in this work include segregation of lower/unfavourable races in ghettos. He also warns that the expansion of non-Nordic race types into the Nordic system of freedom would lead to the subjection of the Nordic community.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#000066\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMadison Grant,\u003cem\u003e The Passing of the Great Race: or, the Racial Basis of European History\u003c/em\u003e, 1916\u003c/strong\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\r\nPublished by Charles Scribner\u0026#39;s Sons\u003cbr /\u003e\r\nFirst edition\u003cbr /\u003e\r\nCollection M HKA, Antwerp\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\r\n\u003cbr /\u003e\r\nMadison Grant (1865-1937) was een Amerikaanse schrijver en zo\u0026ouml;loog die vooral bekendheid genoot met zijn werk als eugeneticus. Zijn omvangrijk boek rond \u0026lsquo;raciale hygi\u0026euml;ne\u0026rsquo;, \u003cem\u003eThe Passing of the Great Race: or the Racial Basis of European History\u003c/em\u003e, wordt beschouwd als een van de meest invloedrijke boeken in de twintigste-eeuwse traditie van wetenschappelijk racisme. De ondertitel van het boek verwijst naar de sleuteltheorie die door Grant wordt gepromoot: de superioriteit van het \u0026lsquo;noordse ras\u0026rsquo; en zijn verantwoordelijkheid in de menselijke ontwikkeling. In het eerste deel van het boek pleit Grant voor het behoud van Amerika als een territorium voor het \u0026lsquo;noordse ras\u0026rsquo;, bestaande uit \u0026#39;noordse\u0026#39; immigranten die afstammen van Angelsaksen en andere volkeren uit Noordwest-Europa. Het tweede deel geeft een uitgebreide indeling van de drie Europese \u0026lsquo;rassen\u0026rsquo;: het \u0026lsquo;noordse\u0026rsquo;, het \u0026lsquo;alpiene\u0026rsquo; en het \u0026lsquo;mediterrane\u0026rsquo;, middels een analyse van hun geschiedenis en fysieke en mentale kenmerken. Grant is een groot voorstander van raciale ongelijkheid en ranglijsten en gaat ervan uit dat de verworvenheden van de mediterrane beschaving uit de oudheid alleen mogelijk waren door een vermenging met \u0026lsquo;noordse\u0026rsquo; volkeren. In Grants theorie wordt de laagste positie toegewezen aan de \u0026lsquo;alpiene\u0026rsquo; volkeren. Een ander idee in het boek is bijvoorbeeld de segregatie van lagere, \u0026#39;ongunstige rassen\u0026rsquo; in getto\u0026#39;s. Hij waarschuwt er ook voor dat de expansie van \u0026lsquo;niet-noordse rassentypes\u0026rsquo; in het \u0026lsquo;noordse\u0026rsquo; vrijheidssysteem zou leiden tot de onderwerping van de noordse gemeenschap.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#000066\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMadison Grant,\u003cem\u003e The Passing of the Great Race: or, the Racial Basis of European History\u003c/em\u003e, 1916\u003c/strong\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\r\nPublished by Charles Scribner\u0026#39;s Sons\u003cbr /\u003e\r\nFirst edition\u003cbr /\u003e\r\nCollection M HKA, Antwerp\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"ru","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"de","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"es","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"el","short_description":"","description":""}],"actors":[]}
