Ross, Edward Alsworth. (1866-1951). American sociologist and eugenicist, and a major figure in early criminology.

Original Photo Inscribed and Signed by Sociologist and Eugenicist Edward Alsworth Ross.

Circa [1930]. [1930]. - Original sepia-toned head-and shoulders portrait photo approximately 9-3/4 inches high by 7-3/4 inches wide. Inscribed in the margin below the image "-- With best wishes, / Edward Alsworth Ross." There is some light creasing to the margins of the photo with a few tiny stains to the bottom margin. Good.

Edward Alswoth Ross [1866-1951] was an American sociologist and eugenicist and a major figure in early criminology. Rather remarkably, in his last twenty years, he grew out of the disreputable views of his earlier life when he was a believer in eugenics and sterilization and opposed immigration to the point of suggesting that America would do better to turn its guns "upon every vessel bringing Japanese to our shores rather than to permit them to land". In the 1930s he was a supporter of Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal program, and from 1940 to 1950 he served as chairman of the national committee of the American Civil Liberties Union. Good .
