Black Baby White Hands:
A View from the Crib, by Dr. Jaiya John
Dr. Jaiya John provides a moving and vivid account of his experience as an African American child adopted by a white family. Never has an author approached race as an issue with such an intimate perspective from within both African American and white American social and psychological realities. Here is a book that speaks with authority regarding transracial adoption, a phenomenon that vividly captures this nation’s racial dynamics. Separated from his mother at birth, placed into foster care, adopted by a white family, and reunited with his birth family in adulthood, this story charts an astounding journal of personal discovery.
