Invisible Asians - Korean American Adoptees, Asian American Experiences, Racial

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.
