In the Public Good examines the trajectory of eugenic ideas in Ontario in the early twentieth century, when the eugenics movement gained support for the solutions it offered to social ills of the day. Koester focuses on key legal events that influenced eugenic ideas, showing how the law was used both to promote and deflect eugenic thinking.
