Outsiders Within (Paper)
Writing on Transracial AdoptionJane Jeong Trenka (Editor), Julia Chinyere Oparah (Editor), and Sun Yung Shin (Editor)
Released 2006-10-10
Moving beyond personal narrative, these 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, they unseat conventional understandings of adoption politics, ultimately reframing the controversy as a debate that encompasses human rights, peace, and reproductive justice.
