"Die Staerke der Studie liegt darin, dass sie Phaenomene zusammendenkt, die in der Regel getrennt betrachtet werden. Indem sie die Politik gegenueber Behinderten und gegenueber Roma wie zwei Folien uebereinander schiebt und darueber hinaus die Gleichzeitigkeit unter-schiedlicher Einfluesse in den Blick nimmt, gelingt ihr eine ueberzeugende Darlegung, die auch jenseits der engeren Fragestellung wichtige Erkenntnisse zur Sonderschulerziehung, zur Politik gegenueber den Roma und zum eugenischen Diskurs bietet. Das Wagnis aus der Sozialwissenschaft heraus eine historische Studie zu verfassen, hat sich gelohnt; herausge-kommen ist ein gut recherchiertes und empfehlenswertes Werk!"- Natali Stegmann, Zeitschrift fuer Ostmitteleuropa-Forschung / Journal of East Central European Studies 3/2020
"The combination of study the politics of disability in past, the geographical placement with actual topic on mechanisms of producing inequalities has resulted in an excellent book. It has both academic and societal relevance."
- Prof. Elena Marushiakova, School of History, University of St Andrews, Scotland
"This remarkable volume analyses almost a century of Czechoslovakian eugenics which emerged in the 1920s. Its objects were disabled people as well as ethnic minorities considered to be 'inferior' or 'asocial', in particular the 'Gypsies'. One of the great merits of this important and exciting book is its focus on a gender perspective."
- Gisela Bock, Freie Universitaet Berlin

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
