Abstract

The aim of the paper is to analyze the "postcolonial archive" concerning the production of adoptable migrant children (or children born from migrant parents) in Europe. Based on their extended ethnographic fieldwork (a long-time research about the experience of migrant parents in northern Italy), the authors focus on the colonial genealogy of procedures regarding the foreign family and the "apparatus" that makes it a dispossessed kinship. © Presses Universitaires de France.
