| Zusammenfassung: | "This book locates transnational adoption within a broad context of contemporary Western life and explores the many ambiguities and paradoxes that the practice entails. Based on empirical research from Norway, the author identifies three main themes for analysis: the perceived relationship between biology and sociality; the rise of expert knowledge in the understanding of 'the best interest of the child', and how the part played by the 'psychotechnocrats' effects national and international policy and practice of transnational adoption. The book is an original contribution to the anthropological study of kinship and globalisation."--BOOK JACKET. |
