This memoir is a case study examination of modern American identity search. In pre/extra modern societies personal "identity" is usually communal, has greater time depth and is generational in nature. In contrast, this essay looks at a specific instance of American "identity" formation and how modern adoption practices interface with contemporary trends in globalization, specifically within the American "mainstream" milieu of North America.
