UC Merced Faculty Author Series

Please register for this in person event.

In this talk, Dr. Myers will discuss his new book, The Violence of Love: Race, Family, and Adoption in the United States. The book examines narratives surrounding adoption, and challenges the idea that adoption is a solely loving act that benefits birth parents, adopted individuals, and adoptive parents – a narrative that is especially pervasive with transracial and transnational adoptions.  

Registration is encouraged as seating is limited. Light refreshments provided. We will have a giveaway of a few copies of the book during the event.
