Edward Ross

sociologist United States

Edward Ross was an influential American sociologist in the early 20th century, known for his controversial views that combined pronatalism with eugenics. He coined the term 'race suicide' to describe the perceived threat posed by declining birth rates among white Americans in the context of increasing non-white immigration. His work contributed to the eugenics movement in the United States, advocating for measures such as involuntary sterilization to enhance the reproductive prospects of what he considered 'desirable' populations.
