Abstract

This article consists of a study of how the first wave of Korean adoptees to Sweden were imagined and represented in a political debate that raged throughout the 1960s concerning whether or not Swedes would adopt non-white children from abroad. The study examines how the arrival of the Korean adoptees came to transform Swedes’ attitude to race and the relationship between race and Swedishness, and how they made it possible for Sweden to transition from a country with a racial obsession to an antiracist nation in the 1960s, whenSweden was one of the Western world’s whitest and most racially homogeneous countries.

海外收养韩国人与瑞典色盲的产生:被收养的韩国人如何改变瑞典的种族态度及种族与瑞典性的关系研究
这篇文章包括一项研究,关于瑞典人是否会从国外收养非白人儿童的政治辩论,如何在整个20世纪60年代被想象和代表到瑞典的第一波韩国被收养者。这项研究考察了被收养的韩国人的到来如何改变瑞典人对种族的态度以及种族与瑞典性之间的关系,以及他们如何使瑞典在20世纪60年代从一个种族主义困扰的国家转变为一个反种族主义的国家,当时瑞典是西方世界上白人最多、种族最单一的国家之一。
