Description

Origin Narratives: The Stories We Tell Children About Immigration and International Adoption offers a unique study of how children's books shape our understanding of global movement. This volume is the first of its kind to unpack the cultural construction of transnational adoption and migration through a close examination of recent children's literature. Focusing on Spain, a nation that has seen a steep increase in immigration and transnational adoption since the early 1990s, this book provides deep insights into how contemporary Spanish society and its institutions redefine national identity. By looking at the frameworks of cultural, political, and ethnic values presented in these stories, readers gain a better understanding of how migration is communicated to younger generations. This academic work is an essential resource for those studying children's literature, sociology, or international relations. It provides a clear look at how stories function as tools for defining identity in a changing world.
