The final chapter, "Linking the Dance of Identities Theory to Life Experiences," reiterates for adoptees, parents, adoption agencies, and social justice activists and educators the need for identity journeys and the empowered identities that can result.The Dance of Identities is an honest look at the complex nature of race and how we can begin to address race and racism from a fresh perspective.
