Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Set against the backdrop of World War I, the book explores how eugenic ideologies and wartime paranoia led to significant violations of civil liberties in Oregon. It highlights the state's surveillance practices, including the registration of "enemy aliens," forced sterilizations, and the incarceration of marginalized groups. Personal stories of resistance reveal the struggle for rights and freedoms, contributing to ongoing movements for human rights and social justice. The analysis delves into the intersections of gender, race, and class in this critical historical context.
