| contents | The Colombian Healthy Child Contest: in search of Latin America’s “ideal child” in the 1930s Iván Darío Olaya Peláez Historia Colombia eugenics child protection racial improvement Healthy child contest This article analyzes healthy child contests as a medical and socio-political strategy implemented in Latin America to protect childhood, thus ensuring the future of the “race” and the nation. These contests blended degeneration, racial theories, and state interventionism and gained momentum in the 1930s with the rise of eugenics. This article examines the contest in Colombia, which was implemented under the Liberal Republic (1930-1946); even though this competition was defined by its national context, a broader international perspective improves understanding. Questions are also raised about the efforts of the Liberal government to strengthen the idea of national identity through education and health programs. 2023 artículo científico 0104-5970 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=386175072004 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3861/386175072004/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3861/386175072004/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3861/386175072004/386175072004.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3861/386175072004/movil 10.1590/S0104-59702023000100005en en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3861 História, Ciências, Saúde - Manguinhos application/pdf Fundação Oswaldo Cruz História, Ciências, Saúde - Manguinhos (Brasil) Vol.30 |
