Specifically, it demonstrates that the popularity of eugenic science was not diminished by the influence of Catholicism there. In fact, both eugenics and Catholicism worked together to construct the concept of a unique Chilean race, \u003ci\u003ela raza chilena\u003c\/i\u003e. A major factor that facilitated this conceptual overlap was a generalized belief among historical actors that male and female gender roles were biologically determined and therefore essential to a functioning society. As the first English-language study of eugenics in Chile, \u003ci\u003eThe Religion of Life \u003c\/i\u003esurveys a wide variety of different materials (periodicals, newspapers, medical theses, and monographs) produced by Catholic and secular intellectuals from the first half of the twentieth century. What emerges from this examination is not only a more complex rendering of the relationship between religion and science but also the development of White supremacist logics in a Latin American context.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sarah Walsh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822946645\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822946649\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pittsburgh Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/25\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.00d","brand":"Sarah Walsh","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43990879961343,"sku":"9780822946649","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_429b2bc1-26dc-4466-bf15-ccc3cef17b39.jpg?v=1683307212","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-religion-of-life-sarah-walsh-9780822946649","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
