Sommario/riassunto: Can White parents teach their Black children African American culture and history? Can they impart to them the survival skills necessary to survive in the racially stratified United States? Concerns over racial identity have been at the center of controversies over transracial adoption since the 1970's, as questions continually arise about whether White parents are capable of instilling a positive sense of African American identity in their Black children. ""[An] empathetic study of meanings of cross-racial adoption to adoptees"". -Law and Politics Book Review, Vol. 11, No. 11, Nov. 2001.
