Autorenporträt

Madison Grant (1865-1937) was an influential American lawyer, historian, and anthropologist, primarily known for his work in the field of scientific racism and his advocacy for eugenics. Born in New York City to a well-off and socially prominent family, Grant pursued a career in law and developed an interest in natural history and conservation. His beliefs in the importance of heredity and racial hierarchies deeply influenced his writings and activism. Grant's most controversial and notorious work, 'The Passing of the Great Race' (1916), reflected his nativist and eugenicist views, arguing for the racial purity of 'Nordics' and against immigration from Southern and Eastern Europe. However, in the context of 'The Conquest of a Continent; or, The Expansion of Races in America', he focused on the proliferation and movement of various racial groups across North America. Whilst aiming to be a comprehensive historic account, the book is characterized by the same racial ideology that underpinned his previous works. Grant's legacy has since been marred by his ideas' associational implications with Nazi ideology and the subsequent discredit of scientific racism post-World War II. Nevertheless, his impact on American immigration policies of the early 20th century and his contributions to wildlife conservation remain parts of his complex historical footprint.
