Book Description
Excerpt from Mental Differences in Certain Immigrant Groups: Psychological Tests of South Europeans in Typical California Schools With Bearing on the Educational Policy and on the Problems of Racial Contacts in This Country The so-called "New Immigration" which has deluged this country in the past thirty or forty years has resulted in many problems-social, economic, racial and educational. Only lately has serious attention been paid to the last two: in reference to the first the consequences of racial mixture of the older and newer stocks, and in regard to the second, the problem of providing the children of foreign stock and adult immigrants with an education commensurate with modem needs and along the lines laid down in our national culture. The educational difficulties have been reflected in great retardation and in great burden of teaching the foreign children the content of our curricula. The incentive to this study grew out of an attempt to discover if possible some of the causes of the difficulty in the education of children of South European ancestry in our public schools and further to see if a study of these children of immigrants might not throw some light on the larger question of adult immigration. The purposes of this research are: (1) To investigate by psychological tests and other measures the mental capacity of the South Italian, Portuguese and Spanish-Mexican children in certain public schools, to discover whether their inability to master the traditional American education is due: (a) to their alleged language handicap, or (b) to the lack of native mental endowment (as compared to that of "American" children of North European ancestry) which prevents their acquisition of the content of our curricula. (2) From the results of the study of the school population to note the possible implication of the findings for the larger problem of immigration and the future race mixture in this country.

Book Description
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in History in 1972, and a past president of both the Organization of American Historians and the American Historical Association, Carl Degler is one of America's most eminent living historians. He is also one of the most versatile. In a forty year career, he has written brilliantly on race (Neither Black Nor White, which won the Pulitzer Prize), women's studies (At Odds, which Betty Friedan called "a stunning book"), Southern history (The Other South), the New Deal, and many other subjects. Now, in The Search for Human Nature, Degler turns to perhaps his largest subject yet, a sweeping history of the impact of Darwinism (and biological research) on our understanding of human nature, providing a fascinating overview of the social sciences in the last one hundred years. The idea of a biological root to human nature was almost universally accepted at the turn of the century, Degler points out, then all but vanished from social thought only to reappear in the last four decades. Degler traces the early history of this idea, from Darwin's argument that our moral and emotional life evolved from animals just as our human shape did, to William James's emphasis on instinct in human behavior (then seen as a fundamental insight of psychology). We also see the many applications of biology, from racism, sexism, and Social Darwinism to the rise of intelligence testing, the eugenics movement, and the practice of involuntary sterilization of criminals (a public policy pioneered in America, which had sterilization laws 25 years before Nazi Germany--one such law was upheld by Oliver Wendell Holmes's Supreme Court). Degler then examines the work of those who denied any role for biology, who thought culture shaped human nature, a group ranging from Franz Boas, Ruth Benedict, and Margaret Mead, to John B. Watson and B.F. Skinner. Equally important, he examines the forces behind this fundamental shift in a scientific paradigm, arguing that ideological reasons--especially the struggle against racism and sexism in America--led to this change in scientific thinking. Finally, Degler considers the revival of Darwinism without the Social Darwinism, racism, and sexism, led first by ethologists such as Karl von Frisch, Nikolaas Tinbergen, Konrad Lorenz, and Jane Goodall--who revealed clear parallels between animal and human behavior--and followed in varying degrees by such figures as Melvin Konner, Alice Rossi, Jerome Kagen, and Edward O. Wilson as well as others in anthropology, political science, sociology, and economics. What kind of animal is Homo sapiens and how did we come to be this way? In this wide ranging history, Carl Degler traces our attempts over the last century to answer these questions. In doing so, he has produced a volume that will fascinate anyone curious about the nature of human beings.
