Black Anthology: Adult Adoptees Claim Their Space brings together writing by Black adult adoptees whose lives cross different countries, communities, and family histories. The collection makes room for distinct experiences rather than treating adoption as a single, shared story.
Why we are reading it
First-person adoptee writing belongs at the center of conversations about adoption. These accounts invite readers to consider identity, family, racism, and belonging across the life course, including the lives and relationships that continue beyond childhood.
BGHRA connection
Rosemarie Peña’s essay, “Black Germans: Reunification and Belonging in Diaspora,” opens the volume.
