Informationen zum Autor KIM PARK NELSON is an associate professor in the American Multicultural Studies program at Minnesota State University at Moorhead. Klappentext The first Korean adoptees were powerful symbols of American superiority in the Cold War; as Korean adoption continued, adoptees' visibility as Asians faded as they became a geopolitical success story. Kim Park Nelson analyses the processes by which Korean American adoptees' have been rendered racially invisible, and how that invisibility facilitates their treatment as exceptional subjects within the context of American race relations.
