English | ISBN: 3031388003 | 2023 | 172 pages | PDF | 3 MB
This book is a critical study of international adoption in Sweden, based on analysis of adoption-related texts, images and videos. 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.
