Culture Keeping: White Mothers, International Adoption, and the Negotiation of Family Difference Paperback - 2008
by Heather Jacobson
From the jacket flap
Heather Jacobson examines the recent wave of adoptions of children from China and Russia by focusing on a relatively new social phenomenon, the practice by international adoptive parents, mothers in particular, of incorporating aspects of their children's cultures of origin into their families' lives. "Culture keeping" is now standard in the adoption world, though few adoptive parents, the majority of whom are white and native-born, have experience with the ethnic practices of their children's homelands prior to adopting. The choices these women make about culture, Jacobson argues, offer a window into dominant ideas of race and the "American Family," and into how social differences are conceived and negotiated in the United States.
