Once They Hear My Name: Korean Adoptees and Their Journeys

Once They Hear My Name: Korean Adoptees and Their Journeys Toward Identity
- Used Book in Good Condition
A testament to the more than 100,000 Korean adoptees who have come to the United States since the 1950s, this collection of oral histories features the stories of nine Korean Americans who were adopted as children and the struggles theyâ€™ve shared as foreigners in their native lands. From their early confrontations with racism and xenophobia to their later-in-life trips back to Korea to find their roots (with mixed results), these narratives illustrate the wide variety of ways in which all adoptive parents and adopteesÂ—not just those from KoreaÂ—must struggle with issues of identity, alienation, and family.
