We use that contradiction to examine the concept of solidarity, which has been important in theories of kinship within anthropology (as defined by David Schneider). We drew from our separate ethnographic research projects on adoption in Spain.
We conclude that solidaridad’s exclusions from int'l #adoption show that kinship and humanitarianism both involve work of identifying, accommodating, and resolving social difference. @BrownAnthro

In it, we write about how in Spain, solidaridad is a prized value across family life, political org, + humanitarian action (you can see this in these photos from a recent trip to Madrid), yet adoption professionals actively discouraged it as a motivation for int'l adoption.
