Recenzii
"Adopted Territory is the best and most thorough treatment of [this topic] transnational adoption that I have seen. Eleana J. Kim provides sophisticated analyses of Korean overseas adoption to the United States and South Korean history and state politics, all within the contexts of cold war geopolitics and the rise of the American empire, as well as issues of nation, race, citizenship, gender, social class, and culture. The breadth, depth, and scope of Kims analyses contribute importantly to our understanding of the people and the phenomenon. Her well-contextualized and sensitive discussions of adoptee subjectivities are of particular interest. Elaine H. Kim, University of California, Berkeley"Adopted Territory is amazing: deeply felt, moving, and true. It is an exemplary work of the new transnationalism scholarship, and it moves adoption scholarship beyond some unhelpful ideas that haunt the field. Eleana J. Kim is both detached and engaged, embracing ambiguity and irony, while valuing the multiple kinds of ethnographic subjects she studies and the labor of identity-making by the Korean adoptees. In addition, the history of the emergent networks of Korean adoptees has not been told, and I imagine that its existence will come as a revelation for many. Laura Briggs, co-editor of International Adoption: Global Inequalities and the Circulation of Children"This truly remarkable ethnography chronicles the birth and first generation of the global Korean adoptee movement. Adopted Territory brilliantly asserts that the movement is born of a powerful historical conjuncture among the U.S. Millennial culture of multiculturalism, South Koreas aggressive globalization regimes and emergent democratic civil society, and adoptees coming of age. Adopted Territory also offers a sophisticated study of family, kinship, and nation through the challenging lens of adoption, which Eleana J. Kim declares a veritable catalyst for social transformation. A beautifully crafted multisited ethnography, Adopted Territory will no doubt enjoy a vibrant intellectual life.--Nancy Abelmann, author of The Intimate University: Korean American Students and the Problems of Segregation
