Peu de temps avant & #160; Roe v. Wade avortement légalisé, l'adoptée Megan hane Galbraith est née dans un hôpital caritatif catholique à New York à un adolescent résident de la Guild of the Infant Saviour, une maison pour les mères célibataires. Des décennies plus tard, à la veille de devenir mère elle-même, elle se rendait sur l'ancien site de la guilde ; à sa mère biologique en Écosse ; et à l'Université Cornell, où elle a découvert l'histoire surprenante de son programme d'économie domestique. Là, de 1919 à 1969, les étudiantes ont appliqué des principes scientifiques à la domesticité car ils ont collectivement materné un casting rotatif de bébés en attente d'adoption. Les bébés ont partagé le nom de famille Domecon et ont fourni l'inspiration pour le projet artistique de Galbraith, The Dollhouse.
The Guild of the Infant Saviour est un mémoire hybride vertigineux et inventif de la quête d'une adoptée pour son passé. Galbraith associe la narration avec des images de la maison de poupée, alors qu'elle tisse une histoire personnelle et turelle de l'adoption en ce qui concerne la pabilité, la honte, le chagrin, l'identité et la mémoire elle-même. & #160; En fin de compte, elle connecte ses expériences à celles de générations d'adoptés, au plus grand histoires America raconte sur le sexe et la maternité, et à l'ombre ces histoires jettent sur nous tous.

Paperback. Etat : Good. In its generous scope, Galbraith's book honors the depth and mystery of all human lives, whether we grew up with birth parents or not. --Mary Gaitskill Shortly before Roe v. Wade legalized abortion, adoptee Megan Culhane Galbraith was born in a Catholic charity hospital in New York City to a teenaged resident of the Guild of the Infant Saviour, a home for unwed mothers. Decades later, on the eve of becoming a mother herself, she would travel to the former guild site; to her birth mother's home in Scotland; and to Cornell University, where she discovered the startling history of its Domestic Economics program. There, from 1919 to 1969, coeds applied scientific principles to domesticity as they collectively mothered a rotating cast of babies awaiting adoption. The babies shared the last name Domecon and provided the inspiration for Galbraith's art project, The Dollhouse.The Guild of the Infant Saviour is a dizzyingly inventive hybrid memoir of one adoptee's quest for her past. Galbraith pairs narrative with images from The Dollhouse as she weaves a personal and cultural history of adoption as it relates to guilt, shame, grief, identity, and memory itself. Ultimately, she connects her experiences to those of generations of adoptees, to the larger stories America tells about sex and motherhood, and to the shadows those stories cast on us all.
