Mothers’ Selection of Future Primary Caregivers in Rural West Java, Indonesia
Colorblind Individualism, Color Consciousness, and the Indian Child Welfare Act
Transracial adoption debates revolve around adoptee best interest with support focusing on individual rights and opposition emphasizing identity. How the media portrayed the Baby Veronica case highlights tensions between colorblind individualism and collective color consciousness central to the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA). Content analysis of 262 mainstream and Native American newspaper articles illustrates the complex use of both frameworks …
How White Parents of Black and Multiracial Transracially Adopted Children Approach Racial Exposure and Neighborhood Choice
Although past research on racial socialization tends to concentrate on providing cultural knowledge and pride, this paper focuses on exposure to environments as a means of understanding preparation for racial discrimination, specifically in regard to transracial adoption. This article looks at how 19 white adoptive parents of black and multiracial adopted children perceive their neighborhood choice and decisions of where to send their kids to sch…
Cultural naming practices in children's literature with adoption themes
This paper analyzes texts for children ages 4–8 focused on adoption to understand how naming practices are presented. Findings show how books use naming (a) to connect children to their birth culture by keeping a given name or choosing one with special meaning associated with the child's nation, race, or ethnicity of origin, and (b) for assimilation by giving normalized names associated within parental culture. Naming is based on white middle cla…

This article analyzes 104 books in English designated for children aged 4 to 8 years that are focused on adoption to understand how birth parents are portrayed. Findings indicate that birth parents are often represented with stereotypical, value-based, and cultural perceptions, resulting in an inability to care for children as the reason…

The use of the Internet has transformed the way singles date and how families are formed. Frequencies and multinomial logistic regression in this exploratory study reveal that although some singles are willing to date a person of any race, they are more likely to prefer to date someone of their same race. Dominant racial norms remain prevalent even when structural barriers of contact are reduced. This study demonstrates how use of the Internet pr…
The Blame Game
Response to Hurricane Katrina and public commentary by high-profile individuals has made race a focus in the media and brought racial inequality to the attention of people in the United States. Analyzing responses to an article in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution , I find that, even after this very public event that brought race to the forefront in the U.S., people relied on the ideologies of meritocracy and color blindness to rationalize inequal…
