1926ref. 0377Paris, Librairie médicale et scientifique E. Le François, 1926. Édition originale. Un fort volume in-8 de 22 x 14,5 cm pour (XIII) 599 pp. Relié demi-chagrin lie-de-vin, dos à 5 faux-nerfs, nom d'auteur et titre en caractères d'imprimerie dorés séparés d'un tiret doré, fleurons dorés, papiers marbrés en camaïeu de rouge à veines blanches tirant sur le blanc, gardes beiges nervurées de bleu. Couverture originale non conservée (à noter qu'elle est quasi identique à la page de titre, elle bien présente). Liste de publications de l'auteur, page de titre, préface du Dr Toulouse, introduction. Index bibliographique en fin de chaque partie regroupant plusieurs chapitres. Index des noms d'auteur, index des notions et table des matières analytique en fin d'ouvrage. Citant les travaux d'Alfred Binet, les racines françaises du test de QI, son développement par les Anglo-Saxons avec les travaux fondateurs de Galton, Lewis Terman, Thorndike, Yerkes et bien d'autres, ce livre constitue un vaste tour d'horizon de la notion de santé mentale à l'époque et une certaine manière objective, quantitative et pré-1945 de l'envisager du haut vers le bas. Rédigé bien avant l'appropriation des thématiques eugéniques par un certain régime allemand et son amalgame à celui-ci, il montre que l'eugénisme et la connaissance quantitative de l'être humain étaient actives dans le monde entier, au-delà des nationalités et des associations politiques. Il commence par l’œuvre eugéniste et scientifique des États-Unis, "un mouvement qui s'est produit après celui de la France" (p.1) mais passé alors à l'avant-garde de l'eugénisme mondial, pour passer au reste de l'Occident et du monde. À noter des passages sur la France, le Brésil, ainsi que sur des enfants mentionnés l'espace d'une page à peine mais extrêmement pertinents aujourd'hui : les "surnormaux" (qu'on appellerait maintenant des surdoués).
1939ref. 587Paris et Bucarest, Imprimeria Nationala et Masson, 1939. Seule et unique édition. In-4, 18 x 26 cm, reliure moderne, couverture conservée. Demi-tissu mauve à coins, dos lisse avec nom d'auteur et titre en caractères frappés dorés accompagnés de filets dorés, doubles filets dorés en coiffe et queue. Plats ornés de papiers rose-mauve, charnières à la Bradel, tranchefile jaune et rouge. Un commentaire en portugais au stylo bleu sur la page de titre. Complet du modèle de carte d'hérédité ("carnet de tribu") à remplir, dépliable, en fin d'ouvrage. Sommaire : I. Les buts de l'hygiène de la race, II. Importance et actualité des problèmes raciaux, III. Les fondements : la réalité biologique des problèmes raciaux, aperçu historique de l'hygiène raciale, IV. Nécessité et méthodes d’investigation pratique dans les problèmes raciaux; V. Méthodes et résultats statistiques concernant l’hygiène de la race; VI. Principes et méthodes de normalisation de la race. “La médecine et l’hygiène sociales actuelles convergent vers le redressement biologique et intégral des populations, c’est-à-dire vers l’hygiène des races humaines. Celle-ci a pour fin de faire dominer le type le plus parfait, en écartant méthodiquement et progressivement les défectifs qui compromettent la valeur initiale de la race. En publiant le présent ouvrage que nous avons basé sur une documentation minutieuse, nous avons eu en but, primordial à notre sens: montrer que l’hygiène de la race transpose sur un plan plus large et en utilisant des moyens plus efficaces, les objectifs de l’eugénique.” (Introduction) Si le titre a de quoi choquer le lecteur contemporain, une lecture sommaire révèle un esprit plutôt scientiste et rationaliste, "planiste" au sens hayékien du terme. Figure de la mouvance eugénique roumaine, le Dr Gheorghe Banu (1888-1957) cherche à suivre la démographie des sociétés, à connaître au mieux les sources des problèmes de santé héréditaires comme acquis, et à mettre en place un fichier qui suive les problèmes de santé de chaque citoyen sur le modèle du carnet de travail ou du casier judiciaire. Attaché à la démarche scientifique en même temps que ce qu'il estime être le bien des citoyens, le Dr Banu critique fortement la notion "spiritualiste" de la "race" d'un Chamberlain ou d'un Alfred Rosenberg et ce qu'il estime relever de visions chauvines et non scientifiques de l'identité nationale.
