SooJin Pate explores the ways Korean children were employed by the U.S. nation-state to promote the myth of American exceptionalism, to expand U.S. empire during the Cold War, and to solidify notions of the American family. In From Orphan to Adoptee we see how Korean adoption became the crucible in which technologies of the U.S. empire were invented and honed.
