Subgenation: The Theory Of The Normal Relation Of The Races, An Answer To Miscegenation (1864)

By John H. Van Evrie

Book Overview

Subgenation: The Theory Of The Normal Relation Of The Races, An Answer To Miscegenation (1864) is a controversial book by John H. Van Evrie. The book presents a theory that suggests that the white race is inherently superior to other races, and that interbreeding between races is unnatural and harmful to society. The book argues that miscegenation, the mixing of different races, is a threat to the purity of the white race and must be avoided. Instead, Van Evrie advocates for subgenation, the idea that different races should remain separate but unequal, with the white race at the top of the hierarchy. The book is considered to be a work of scientific racism and has been criticized for its racist and discriminatory views. Despite this, it was widely read and influential in the United States during the 19th century, particularly in the South.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
