"Spanning psychoanalysis, law, and aesthetics, and reading richly and with passion, David L. Eng's "The Feeling of Kinship" looks at transnational adoption as an exemplary scene of contemporary intimacy in the United States. This is a fearless book that knows and feels what it means to have to defend oneself from the 'liberal' place in which one lives; what it means racially, sexually, and legally to have to be defensive in a nation that identifies itself with freedom."--Lauren Berlant, author of "The Female Complaint: The Unfinished Business of Sentimentality in American Culture"
