Conversations about multiculturalism rarely consider the position
of children, who are presumptively nested in families and
communities. Yet providing care for children who are unanchored
from their birth families raises questions central to multicultural
concerns, as they frequently find themselves moved from communities
of origin through adoption or foster care, which deeply affects
marginalized communities. This book explores the debate over
communal and cultural belonging in three distinct contexts:
domestic transracial adoptions of non-American Indian children, the
scope of tribal authority over American Indian children, and
cultural and communal belonging for transnationally adopted
children. Understanding how children belong to families and
communities requires hard thinking about the extent to which
cultural or communal belonging matters for children and
communities, who should have authority to inculcate racial and
cultural awareness and under what terms, and, finally, the degree
to which children should be expected to adopt and carry forward
racial or cultural identities."
