In \u003ci\u003eBelonging in an Adopted World, \u003c\/i\u003eBarbara Yngvesson offers a penetrating exploration of the consequences and implications of this unprecedented movement of children, usually from poor nations to the affluent West. Yngvesson illuminates how the politics of adoption policy has profoundly affected the families, nations, and children involved in this new form of social and economic migration. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStarting from the transformation of the abandoned child into an adoptable resource for nations that give and receive children in adoption, this volume examines the ramifications of such gifts, especially for families created through adoption and later, the adopted adults themselves. Bolstered by an account of the author's own experience as an adoptive parent, and fully attuned to the contradictions of race that shape our complex forms of family, \u003ci\u003eBelonging in an Adopted World\u003c\/i\u003e explores the fictions that sustain adoptive kinship, ultimately exposing the vulnerability and contingency behind all human identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Barbara Yngvesson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226964469\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226964461\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/15\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2011","brand":"Barbara Yngvesson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086430384383,"sku":"9780226964461","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6e5ae085-e9ca-4fec-81cf-8d2666dfcde7.jpg?v=1769094627","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/belonging-in-an-adopted-world-barbara-yngvesson-9780226964461","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
