Description: Reveals the history of how 3,000 Greek children were shipped to the United States for adoption in the postwar period
Review Quotes: "Drawing on the fields of memory studies, cultural anthropology, Greek history, and international adoption history, Van Steen explores how Cold War anticommunism in post-World War II Greece drove the foreign adoption of Greek children, mainly to the U.S., shedding light on the important role that Greece played in U.S. adoption history. The book provides an important corrective lens, including statistics that prove how desirable Greek orphans were to U.S. families in the decades after World War II."
