Transracial and Inracial Adoptees

“Drawing on the symbolic interaction theory, the authors of this book introduce questionnaire and interview data about the development of self-conceptions in transracial and inracial black adolescent adoptees. The effects of contextual differences are explored by comparing transracial and inracial adoptees on such factors as relationships with parents, siblings, and extended families; dating and peer relationships; school and community relationships; perceptions of racial identity; and aspirations for the future. In courses on race and ethnic relations, human behavior and social environment, social problems, social work, and child welfare the book will prove enlightening and informative.”
