This adult white mother and black daughter reflect and dialogue around the places and histories that shaped their relationship. Through three voices: the voice of critical history, the daughter and the mother, the co-authors excavate the past to see if and how it lives in their present. In an intriguing mix of critical history of places like Port-au-Prince, Haiti and Gulu, Uganda as well as lesser-known narratives of W.E.B. Dubois, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, and Shirley Chisholm, the co-authors tell their own personal and moving stories of becoming mother and daughter engaging such topics as racial identity, disclosure, racial appropriation, colonialism, and the complex history of transracial adoption. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor anyone interested in racial identity in the complex world of blended families and adult mother and daughter relationships, t\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Illustrations – Acknowledgments – List of Abbreviations – Introduction – Carrefour, Haiti – Flatlands, Brooklyn – Minnetonka, Minnesota – Czech Republic – Vienna, Austria – Port-au-Prince, Haiti – Gulu, Uganda – Bunia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo – Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn – The Yellow Dress – Epilogue – Index.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang Publishing Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51039679349079,"sku":"9781433183928","price":29.26,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781433183928.jpg?v=1750944459","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/learning-to-disclose-9781433183928","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
