Weaving A Family: Untangling Race and Adoption

Barbara Katz Rothman

Weaving A Family: Untangling Race and Adoption

In 2005, 7 million families were parenting a child of a different race ... Barbara Katz Rothman, a noted sociologist, looks at the contemporary American family through the lens of race, race through the lens of adoption, and all - race, family, and adoption - within the context of the changing meanings of motherhood. Drawing on her own experience as the white mother of a black child, on historical research on white people raising black children from slavery to contemporary times, and pulling together work on race, adoption, and consumption, she offers us new insights for understanding the way that race and family are shaped in America today. Roberta's Note: This is a candid, clear-eyed and compassionate look at the issues and challenges of mothering children in a racist world. A very worthwhile read.
