Origins, Searches, and Identity: Narratives of Adoption from China
This essay discusses fictional and autobiographical narratives by contemporary women who, in representing searches for the origins of adopted children from China, explore urgent issues raised by contemporary feminist theory today. Adoption, like “queer,” names a social practice and a social condition that provides fresh insights into what it means to be human. Although, among scholars, adoption has been of greatest interest to those personally in…
Adoption and Essentialism
This essay discusses racial essentialism in adoptions in the United States in the latter half of the nineteenth century. In the 1960s and 1970s, it was thought by the National Association of Black Social Workers (NABSW) that orphaned African American children could only come to understand their black culture and heritage if they were adopted by African American families. Though there were opponent organizations that vouched for transracial adopti…

LICE WALKER'S 1983 volume In Search of Our Mothers' Gardens ends with the autobiographical narrative/essay, Beauty: When the Other Dancer is the Self. Haunted in adulthood by self-doubt because of an eye blinded and scarred in childhood by a brother's BBgun shot, Walker narrates in this essay the story of her healing, first surgical, then, in time, psychological. essay ends in this way: looking steadily into her eyes one day at naptime, and recal…
