On Genetic Interests
On Genetic Interests: Family, Ethnicity, and Humanity in an Age of Mass Migration is a 2003 book by Frank Salter.
Contents[edit]
Catherine Nash argues that the book is "an account of the persistence of genetically grounded ethnic bonds despite the complexity of modern, mobile, and multicultural societies".[1]
Critical response[edit]
Kenan Malik argues that On Genetic Interests establishes Salter's view that "immigration … is not only a genetic problem but also a political predicament".[2]
Hiram Caton, an AIDS denialist, argues that the book is characterized by the view that "political identity may be sustainable only on the basis of a dominant ethn[icit]y".[3]
The work has been reviewed in discredited[4] journal Mankind Quarterly, which promotes scientific racism.[5]
