Описание:
While focused on serving children and families, the adoption industry must also generate sufficient revenue to cover an agency’s operating costs. With its fee-for-service model, Elizabeth Raleigh asks, How does private adoption operate as a marketplace? Her eye-opening book, Selling Transracial Adoption, provides a fine-grained analysis of the business decisions in the adoption industry and what it teaches us about notions of kinship and race.
Adoption providers, Raleigh declares, are often tasked with pitching the idea of transracial adoption to their mostly white clientele. But not all children are equally “desirable,” and transracial adoption—a market calculation—is hardly colorblind. Selling Transracial Adoption explicitly focuses on adoption providers andemploys candid interviews with adoption workers, social workers, attorneys, and counselors, as well as observations from adoption conferences and information sessions, toillustrate how agencies institute a racial hierarchy—especially when the supply of young and healthy infants is on the decline. Ultimately, Raleigh discovers that the racialized practices in private adoption serve as a powerful reflection of race in America.

Описание: Featuring illuminating chapters written by scholars within the discipline, Multicultural Stepfamilies presents readers with new research and insight into the composition and diversity of modern stepfamilies. Through the lenses of diversity, inclusiveness, and intersectionality, the text explores the ways in which race, ethnicity, religion, and culture can influence stepfamily structure and dynamics. Over the course of eight chapters, readers increase their awareness of the growing population of non-white, non-Christian stepfamilies. The text summarizes and critiques the existing literature on stepfamilies among various groups and proposes avenues for future policy, practice, and research. It features scholars' original data analysis, providing new information on cultural differences in stepfamily structure, attitudes, perceptions, and more. Each chapter contains a vignette designed to deepen readers' understanding of stepfamily life "on the ground" as opposed to relying solely on hypothetical, theoretical, and empirical models. Dedicated chapters address stepfamily research bias, religious diversity in stepfamilies, and the unique features and dynamics of African American, Hispanic, American Indian, and East Asian stepfamilies. Filling a gap in current literature and providing direction for future research in the discipline, Multicultural Stepfamilies is an ideal text for courses in sociology, social work, and family studies.
