China's Hidden Children: Abandonment, Adoption, and the Human Cost of the One-Child Policy
The world in the twentieth century witnessed quite a few gargantuan social engineering projects, from forced massive collectivization in the Soviet Union, compulsory villagization in Africa, to planned economies in a large number of socialist countries following the Second World War.

Exhibiting decolonising discourse: Critical settler education and ‘the city before the city’
Canada, like other settler nations such as Australia, New Zealand, and the United States, faces considerable challenges in repairing and transforming relationships with Indigenous peoples. The country’s reconciliation efforts need to overcome a general failure among non-Indigenous Canadians to acknowledge and understand colonialism and to recognise the contributions of Indigenous peoples. The education of the public thus becomes a key requirement…

They mention the U.S. is still ranked near the bottom in infant mortality and other birth outcomes among developed nations and has significant ethnic and socioeconomic disparities. They comment on a …

Cultures of Transnational Adoption
Politics of International and Domestic Adoption in China
This article analyzes why the Chinese government turned to international adoption in the 1990s as a means to deal with increasing numbers of abandoned children in Chinese orphanages. Although many people involved in international adoption assume that Chinese families are unwilling to adopt the kinds of children who fill most Chinese orphanages, primarily abandoned girls, research indicates that many families in China are willing to adopt abandone…

Women, the Family, and Peasant Revolution in China
Kay Ann Johnson provides much-needed information about women and gender equality under Communist leadership. She contends that, although the Chinese Communist Party has always ostensibly favored women's rights and family reform, it has rarely pushed for such reforms. In reality, its policies often have reinforced the traditional role of women to further the Party's predominant economic and military aims. Johnson's primary focus is on reforms of m…

Maternal and Child Health Services for Medically Indigent Children and Pregnant Women
Millions of low-income children and women of childbearing age are completely uninsured. Medicaid, the nation's largest public health financing program for the poor, is an inadequate resource for uninsured families with children. By 1984, the program served only 46% of the poor and near-poor, down from 65% in 1976. To assess the availability of maternity and pediatric services for low income uninsured women and children, a survey of 51 Title V Mat…
