Like too many of our generation, I was raised and “educated” without acquiring any real knowledge of European identity or our Western tradition. The Classics lay unopened. Though I may have tried once or twice to read them, they always left me baffled. I was too ignorant to even attempt to lessen my ignorance through […]
Eugenics and Racial Policy Tarquini devotes substantial attention to race and eugenics in Italian culture under Fascism.
