Veronica's biological mother had relinquished her for adoption to the Capobiancos without Brown's consent. Although Brown regained custody of his daughter using the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) of 1978, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Capobiancos, rejecting the purpose of the ICWA and ignoring the long history of removing Indigenous children from their families. In A Generation Removed, a powerful blend of history and family stories, award- winning historian Margaret D. Jacobs examines how government authorities in the post-World War II era removed thousands of American Indian children from their families and placed them in non-Indian foster or adoptive families. By the late 1960s an estimated 25 to 35 percent of Indian children had been separated from their families. Jacobs also reveals the global dimensions of the phenomenon: These practices undermined Indigenous families and their communities in Canada and Australia as well. Jacobs recounts both the trauma and resilience of Indigenous families as they struggled to reclaim the care of their children, leading to the ICWA in the United States and to national investigations, landmark apologies, and redress in Australia and Canada"--|cProvided by publisher. 520 "Examination of the post-WWII international phenomenon of governments legally taking indigenous children away from their primary families and placing them with adoptive parents in the U.S., Canada, and Australia"--|cProvided by publisher. 588 Description based on print version record. 650 0 Interracial adoption|xHistory. 650 0 Interethnic adoption|xHistory. 650 0 Foster children|xHistory. 650 0 Indigenous children|xHistory. 650 7 SOCIAL SCIENCE / Ethnic Studies / Native American Studies. |2bisacsh 650 7 FAMILY & RELATIONSHIPS / Adoption & Fostering.|2bisacsh 650 7 HISTORY / Modern / 20th Century.|2bisacsh 650 7 POLITICAL SCIENCE / Public Policy / Social Security. |2bisacsh 650 7 POLITICAL SCIENCE / Public Policy / Social Services & Welfare.|2bisacsh 650 7 Foster children.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00933178 650 7 Indigenous children.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00970206 650 7 Interethnic adoption.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00976195 650 7 Interracial adoption.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00977475 655 0 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aJacobs, Margaret D., 1963-|tGeneration removed.|dLincoln : University of Nebraska Press, 2014 |z9780803255364|w(DLC) 2014011395|w(OCoLC)877370511 914 ocn884725777 994 93|bGTK
