Barbara Katz Rothman takes us, with lucidity and (often brave) good humor, through the tangle of pains and satisfactions that come with her family's challenge to the racial status quo."<BR>—Rosellen Brown, author of Half a Heart and Before and After<BR><BR>"Is it right for white parents to adopt African-American children? How does a white parent expose her black daughter to two cultures? Protect the child from insensitive remarks? Sociologist Barbara Katz Rothman . . . doesn't just describe what it's like to be the white mother of a black girl. Rothman skillfully debates adoption ethics, the commodification of children, and the politics of inequality in America."<BR>—Anne E. Stein, Chicago Tribune<BR><BR>"In Weaving a Family, the sociologist and white mother of an African American girl provides an accessible, sensitive portrayal of the inherent sociological complexities of mixed-race adoption and parenting."<BR>—Melissa Chianta, Mothering<BR><BR>Barbara Katz Rothman is a professor of sociology at the City University of New York.
