Transracial Adoption, Identity, and Racism in the United States - Between Two Worlds

This volume contains narratives of Black transracial adoptees which illustrate the socialization experiences that directly affect their complex racial identities as emerging adults. The author argues that transracial adoption stems from systemic issues of racial injustice, and that those problems will not be solved quickly.
