The Guarded Gate: Bigotry, Eugenics and the Law That Kept Two Generations of Jews, Italians, and Other European Immigrants Out of Americ by Daniel Okrent

4.0

I truly had no idea the depths my country sank to in the pursuit of a “perfect” America. I knew there were severely restricted immigration policies, but knew very little about the horrible eugenic theories that guided these policies. Powerful book. Review to come.
