Forbidden Relatives: The American Myth Of Cousin Marriage. OTTENHEIMER, MARTIN.
4269X1 First Edition. University of Illinois Press, Chicago: 1996. 181 pages. Softcover. Good condition. This book challenges the belief-widely held in the U.S.-that legislation against marriage between first cousins is based on a biological risk to offspring. In fact, its author maintains, the U.S. prohibition against such unions originated largely because of the belief that it would promote more rapid assimilation of immigrants. Includes an Index.
