Adoption, Emotion, and Identity : An Ethnopsychological Perspective on Kinship and Person in a Micronesian Society Hardback
by Manuel Rauchholz
Part of the Person, Space and Memory in the Contemporary Pacific series
Hardback
Description
Exploring adoption in the Pacific, this book goes beyond the commonplace structural-functional analysis of adoption as a positive “transaction in parenthood.” It examines the effects it has on adoptees’ inner sense of self, their conflicted emotional lives, and familial relationships that are affected by a personal sense of rejection and not belonging.
This account is theoretically rooted in ethnopsychology, based on field work conducted across multiple research sites in the Chuuk Lagoon, its neighboring Chuukic-speaking atolls, and persons from neighboring Micronesian island communities.
