520 1 |a "In this examination of the intriguing but understudied period following the landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision, John P. Jackson examines the scientific case aimed at dismantling the legislation. Jackson focuses on the 1959 formation of the International Society for the Advancement of Ethnology and Eugenics (IAAEE), whose expressed function was to objectively investigate the racial differences and publicize their findings. Notable figures included Carleton Putnam, Wesley Critz George, and Carleton Coon. In an attempt to link race, eugenics, and intelligence, they launched legal challenges to the Brown ruling, each chronicled here, that went to trial but ultimately failed."--BOOK JACKET.
