Description
Privileging Indigenous voices and experiences, Intimate Integration documents the rise and fall of North American transracial adoption projects, including the Adopt Indian and Metis Project and the Indian Adoption Project. Allyson D. Stevenson argues that the integration of adopted Indian and Metis children mirrored the new direction in post-war Indian policy and welfare services. She illustrates how the removal of Indigenous children from their families and communities took on increasing political and social urgency, contributing to what we now call the "Sixties Scoop."
Making profound contributions to the history of settler colonialism in Canada, IntimateIntegration sheds light on the complex reasons behind persistent social inequalities in child welfare.
