Description
Largo de la obra la autora traza un panorama de la historia de la adopción en nuestro país - desde la Ley de Patronato de principios del siglo XIX hasta la ley de adopción actualmente vigente -, analizando en cada caso qué representación de la niñez presuponen esas leyes. El trabajo de Elías resulta esclarecedor, pues tras la malla de leyes, decretos, convenciones y tratados internacionales, suele invisibilizarse uno de los nudos centrales de esta trama: la existencia de la pobreza.
