Lothrop StoddardLothrop Theodore Stoddard (1883-May 1, 1950) was an American eugenicist and racist with a History Ph.D from Harvard University. He published many books on what he saw as the peril of immigration, his most (in)famous being The Rising Tide of Color Against White World-Supremacy in 1922. In that book he presented a view of the world situation pertaining to race focusing concern on the coming population explosion among people of color. Unlike his mentor Madison Grant, Stoddard was less concerned with which varieties of European people were superior to others (Nordic theory), but was more concerned with what he called "bi-racialism," seeing the world as being composed of simply black and white races. In the years after the Great Migration and World War I, Grant's racial theory would fall out of favor in the U.S. in favor for a model more similar to Stoddard's. Stoddard was appointed to the Board of Directors of the Birth Control League a forerunner to Planned Parenthood by Margaret Sanger. He also wrote "The Revolt Against Civilization," and "The French Revolution in San Domingo". See also References Stoddard, Lothrop Stoddard, Lothrop Stoddard, Lothrop
