{"product_id":"adoption-memory-and-cold-war-gonda-van-steen-9780472131587","title":"Adoption, Memory, and Cold War Greece: Kid Pro Quo?","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book presents a committed quest to unravel and document the postwar adoption networks that placed more than 3,000 Greek children in the United States, in a movement accelerated by the aftermath of the Greek Civil War and by the new conditions of the global Cold War. Greek-to-American adoptions and, regrettably, also their transactions and transgressions, provided the blueprint for the first large-scale international adoptions, well before these became a mass phenomenon typically associated with Asian children. The story of these Greek postwar and Cold War adoptions, whose procedures ranged from legal to highly irregular, has never been told or analyzed before. \u003ci\u003eAdoption, Memory, and Cold War Greece\u003c\/i\u003e answers the important questions: How did these adoptions from Greece happen? Was there any money involved? Humanitarian rescue or \u003ci\u003ekid pro quo\u003c\/i\u003e? Or both? With sympathy and perseverance, Gonda Van Steen has filled a decades-long gap in our understanding, and provided essential information to the hundreds of adoptees and their descendants whose lives are still affected today. \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gonda Van Steen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0472131583\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780472131587\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Michigan Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/21\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.10d","brand":"Gonda Van Steen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086709797119,"sku":"9780472131587","price":94.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fef0132b-bb29-4891-9a2c-7427df785dff.jpg?v=1769096124","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/adoption-memory-and-cold-war-gonda-van-steen-9780472131587","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
