"Adoption and Multiculturalism features the voices of international scholars reflecting
transnational and transracial adoption and its relationship to notions of multiculturalism.
The essays trouble common understandings about who is being adopted, who is adopting,
and where these acts are taking place, challenging in fascinating ways the tidy master
narrative of saviorhood and the concept of a monolithic Western receiving nation.
Too often the presumption is that the adoptive and receiving country is one that celebrates
racial and ethnic diversity, thus making it superior to the conservative and insular
places from which adoptees arrive. The volume's contributors subvert the often simplistic
ways that multiculturalism is linked to transnational and transracial adoption and
reveal how troubling multiculturalism in fact can be. The contributors represent a
wide range of disciplines, cultures, and connections in relation to the adoption constellation,
bringing perspectives from Europe (including Scandinavia), Canada, the United States,
and Australia. The book brings together the various methodologies of literary criticism,
history, anthropology, sociology, and cultural theory to demonstrate the multifarious
and robust ways that adoption and multiculturalism might be studied and considered.
Edited by three transnational and transracial adoptees, Adoption and Multiculturalism:
Europe, the Americas, and the Pacific offers bold new scholarship that revises popular
notions of transracial and transnational adoption as practice and phenomenon"
