Adoption across Race and Nation showcases how intercountry adoption rides the tensions between binaries such as rescue and self-fulfillment, guardianship and consumption, global and local, foreign and native, and right and wrong. A necessary and compelling work, it broadens the significance of adoption studies in both the past and present. --Tiffany N. Florvil, author of Mobilizing Black Germany: Afro-German Women and the Making of a Transnational Movement
