CARVALHO, Leonardo Dallacqua de  e  SOUZA, Vanderlei Sebastião de. Continuities and ruptures in the history of eugenics: an analysis from Renato Kehl publications in the Post-World War II.

Overall, the period after World War II is characterized as a turning point or discontinuance of racial theories and debate about racial identity, especially when referring to the history of eugenics. From the analysis of medical work of eugenicist Renato Kehl, the aim of this study is to investigate the continuities and discontinuities of eugenic through this author, trying to understand the way that eugenic ideas gained in the post-World War II. The continuity of Kehl publications on eugenics in the 1940s to 1960s allows us to observe the development of this debate in a context of contestation to the Eugenics theories.
