The author argues that representations of adoption, and specifically of the bodies of international, transracial adoptees, are used to create and sustain myths of Swedish exceptionalism, concealing the nation’s colonial, racist and eugenic histories. The book challenges the virtuous perception of international adoption, and exposes and critiques the underlying racism and violence of both the adoption industry and the shaping of Sweden as a ‘good’ nation. It will appeal to students and scholars of adoption and migration, as well as those engaged in anti-racism research. | 出版日期 | Book 2023 | 关键词 | Critical Adoption Studies; racism; Sweden; Critical Whiteness Studies; Swedish exceptionalism; transracia | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-38801-9 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-031-38803-3 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-031-38801-9 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Switzerl |
