Fascinating, accessible, thought-provoking,
By Jan Hardy (Pittsburgh, PA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Imagining Adoption: Essays on Literature and Culture (Hardcover)
This anthology examines themes of adoption in drama, fiction, poetry, and film, from Shakespeare and Dickens up to "Secrets and Lies" and "Losing Isaiah." The authors examine older myths and stereotypes of adoption and adoptive mothers that we tend to forget in current conversations, such as the "shame" of illegitimate birth and "infertile" women. Imagining Adoption also covers current debates in the adoptive community on whether to pursue information on birth parents, open adoptions, and non-traditional families. More than interesting, this book is guaranteed to open a reader to many new insights about adoption and identity!
