The following is a bibliography of the history of eugenics. Works on the philosophy, ethics, science, law, culture and contemporary debates of eugenics are listed in the Bibliography of eugenics.
Eugenics[a] is a largely discredited set of beliefs and practices that aim to improve the genetic quality of a human population.[1][2] Historically, eugenicists have attempted to alter the frequency of various human phenotypes by inhibiting the fertility of those considered inferior, often through forced sterilization, or promoting that of those considered superior.[2][3]
Bibliography contains academic level English language books (including translations) and journal articles, published mainly post World War II.[b] Book entries may have references to reviews published in academic journals or major newspapers when these could be considered helpful. These reference reviews also function as a resource to find other works on this subject.
Works listed here are cited in the notes or bibliographies of scholarly sources. Each is published by an academic or major trade press, written by a recognized expert, or substantially reviewed in scholarly journals; borderline cases are omitted. A selection of primary sources are included. Many of the books below carry their own bibliographies; see Further reading section for longer ones, and External links section for historical sites and museums.
Citations follow APA style.[c] Books have citations to academic journal or mainstream published reviews when available. For books only partly about the subject, give relevant chapter or section titles where useful and available. Translators of the original-language edition are included when possible. In cases where a title or name has appeared with more than one English spelling, the most recent published form is used and a footnote documents any earlier title under which the work appeared.
