  • December 18, 2019

    Hello everyone!
     
    Today, December 18, I am substituting the old file for a new one.
     
    Now, you have my paper "The use and abuse of genetic? Agriculture and Eugenics in Brazil and the United States early Twentieth Century" that I will present at noon (EST) [14 horas no Brasil]. To get the paper, click on the "Readings" tab.
     
    I have just downloaded the English version (pp.1-11) and the Portuguese version (pp.12-23). 
     
    I apologize for the eventual mistakes in both versions.
     
    See you soon,
    Robert.
