  In the half-century between 1890 and 1950, a variety of fields and disciplines, from musicology and literary studies to biology, psychology, genetics, and eugenics, expressed a profound interest in the subject of rhythm. This book examines psychological and physiological experiments that proved that races responded differently to rhythmic stimuli.
