McLeod, JM (2018) Adoption Studies and Postcolonial Enquiry. Adoption and Culture, 6 (1). pp. 206-228. ISSN 1944-4990
Abstract
This essay considers the opportunities created when adoption studies is brought into dialogue with postcolonial inquiry. It uncovers the imprint of colonialism’s complicity in adoption across a range of canonical literary texts and considers how recent postcolonial writing has responsibly requisitioned adoption to forge a transformative vision of futurity.
