With an introduction by Madison Grant. The book by Lothrop Stoddard is a prominent work of scientific racism and eugenics, warning that rising population growth and nationalism among non-white races threatened Western colonialism and white global supremacy. Stoddard argued for strict immigration restrictions, segregation, and "Nordic" supremacy to maintain white dominance. He was a member of the Ku Klux Klan, where his books were recommended reading. He was also a member of the American Eugenics Society as well as a founding member and board member of the American Birth Control League, which would later become the Planned Parenthood Federation of America. Stoddard's work influenced the Nazi government of Germany. His book The Revolt Against Civilization: The Menace of the Under-man (1922) may have introduced the term Untermensch (the German translation of "Under-man") into Nazi discussions of race. He traveled as a journalist in Germany during the first months of World War II, during which he received preferential treatment for interviews with Nazi officials and met briefly with Adolf Hitler. After the war, Stoddard's writing faded from popularity.
