Adoption, Memory, and Cold War Greece is the first book to study
the biopolitics of the mass adoption movement of children and
youngsters from Greece to the U.S. starting in the 1950s. The
children of Greece were caught in the crossfire of a tumultuous
civil war, as both sides of the conflict effected the forced
removal of children to internment camps and schools of various
kinds. The book presents a committed quest to unravel and document
the postwar adoption networks that placed more than 3,000 Greek
children in the U.S.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,
their transgressions, provided the blueprint for the first
large-scale international adoptions, before 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. This
book aims to fill that gap, also for the uncounted adoptees and
their descendants whose lives are still affected today.
