Confronting trauma behind the transnational adoption system-now
back in print Many adoptees are required to become people that they
were never meant to be. While transracial adoption tends to be
considered benevolent, it often exacts a heavy emotional, cultural,
and economic toll on those who directly experience it. Outsiders
Within is a landmark publication that carefully explores this most
intimate aspect of globalization through essays, fiction, poetry,
and art. Moving beyond personal narrative, transracially adopted
writers from around the world tackle difficult questions about how
to survive the racist and ethnocentric worlds they inhabit, what
connects the countries relinquishing their children to the
countries importing them, why poor families of color have their
children removed rather than supported-about who, ultimately, they
are. In their inquiry, the contributors unseat conventional
understandings of adoption politics, reframing the controversy as a
debate that encompasses human rights, peace, and reproductive
justice. Contributors: Heidi Lynn Adelsman; Ellen M. Barry; Laura
