Więcej o książce

Focusing on the overlooked theme of racism, the book explores the Scopes Trial's implications beyond its religious context. It examines William Jennings Bryan's specific concerns about human evolution, arguing that Darwin's theories could justify the oppression of marginalized groups. Bryan's views were shaped by his readings on WWI, which influenced his belief that the "survival of the fittest" philosophy had dangerous social consequences. Additionally, he asserted that Tennessee citizens should have the authority to decide their children's education in public schools.
