Publisher Description: Until the late twentieth century, the majority of foreign-born children adopted in the United States came from Korea. In the absorbing book "Reframing Transracial Adoption," Kristi Brian investigates the power dynamics at work between the white families, the Korean adoptees, and the unknown birth mothers. Brian conducts interviews with adult adopted Koreans, adoptive parents, and adoption agency facilitators in the United States to explore the conflicting interpretations of race, culture, multiculturalism, and family. |
