The Routledge Critical Adoption Studies Reader presents a central
source of scholarly approaches arranged around fundamental
questions about how adoption, as a complex practice of
family-making, is represented in art, philosophy, the law, history,
literature, political science, and other humanities. Divided into
three major sections, this volume traces the history of adoption
and its analogues, identifies major movements in the practice, and
illuminates comprehensive disciplinary frameworks that underpin the
field’s approaches. This key scholarly and pedagogical tool
includes excerpts from scholars such as Judith Butler, Dorothy
Roberts, Margaret Homans, Margaret D. Jacobs, Arissa Oh, Marianne
Novy, and Kori Graves, exploring a variety of representations of
adoption and embracing interdisciplinary discussions of
reproduction as it intersects race, ethnicity, power-relations, the
concept of nation, history, the idea of childhood, and many other
contemporary concerns. The Routledge Critical Adoption Studies
Reader provides a single-volume resource for instructors or
students who want a convenient collection of foundational materials
for teaching or reference and for researchers newly discovering the
field. This volume’s humanities perspective makes it the first of
its kind to collect secondary materials in Critical Adoption
Studies for researchers, who, in taking up cultural representations
of adoption, examine cultural contexts not for their impact on the
practice over time but for their richness of engagement with the
human experience of belonging, kinship, and identity.
