Hello everyone!
 
Today, December 18, I am substituting the old file for a new one.
 
Now, you have my paper "The use and abuse of genetic? Agriculture and Eugenics in Brazil and the United States early Twentieth Century" that I will present at noon (EST) [14 horas no Brasil]. To get the paper, click on the "Readings" tab.
 
I have just downloaded the English version (pp.1-11) and the Portuguese version (pp.12-23). 
 
I apologize for the eventual mistakes in both versions.
 
See you soon,
Robert.
