A compelling set of essays and a welcome contribution to conversations regarding multiculturalism in 'western' nations. It offers not just a comparative study of transnational/transracial adoption, but also of comparative race studies in adoptee-receiving nations. The book will be of interest beyond the world of adoption studies, as it uses transnational/transracial adoption as a lens onto contemporary nationalisms in settler colonial and immigrant receiving nations, where rising xenophobic and right-wing movements, struggles over the meanings of secular liberal ideologies, and ongoing questions of citizenship, belonging and in/exclusion are currently playing out, in increasingly interconnected ways. —Elena Kim, University of California, Irvine
