"The Quiet Migration Redux: International Adoption, Race, and Difference" Critique

Abstract

Jessaca B. Leinaweaver’s article, “The Quiet Migration Redux: International Adoption, Race, and Difference”, the reader is presented with the issue that transnational adoptees are presented solely through a migratory view and how that is not the best fit due to the nature of transnational adoption. Leinaweaver shifts into a new hybrid perspective for these adoptees and the people close to them through her position and skills as an anthropologist rather than a demographer. Though she doesn’t make any noticeable change, promoting her viewpoint may help bridge understanding between transnational adoptees and the communities they live in.
