- Van Steen’s Adoption, Memory, and Cold War Greece (UMichigan Press, 2019) is a single-authored, detailed study of 330 pages (including 42 pages of references, Greek and Dutch handwritten records). The book is underpinned by sustained, complex research, begun in 2013 with the arduous collection of elusive primary sources related to the international adoptions of 3,200 Greek children. This innovative, critical analysis of the Greek postwar adoptions rests, too, on extensive cross-disciplinary readings in adoption studies (its varied perspectives), memory studies, and Cold War politics. It is the first, meticulously documented book on a phenomenon that Greece has thus far dismissed.
