Looking into the Identity of Korean Transnational Adoptees in Sweden : Pivoting on the Correlation between Microaggression and Racialization Experience in the Daily Life / 한국인 초국적 입양아들의 정체성에 관한 고찰 : - 인종화 및 미세공격 경험과의 상관관계 분석을 바탕으로

Diplomatic relations between Sweden and South Korea enabled international adoption. It progressed mostly between the 1960s and the 1980s. Concerning the aim for both countries, Sweden needed clear-cut and positive evidence to demonstrate the following social change: From race biology to multiculturalism. South Korea needed the foreign capital for national development. Adoptees were adopted without any appropriate support and deprivation of self determination, and they had to situate the discrimination and identity problem in Swedish society because of the absence of whiteness. This study is not only unpacking problems of identity for Korean transnational adoptees in Sweden but also deducing meaningful outcomes by looking into their stories through an in-depth interview.
