The Birth and Development of Critical Adoption Studies from a Swedish and Scandinavian Lens

Abstract

abstract:Sweden and Scandinavia harbor the Western world’s largest concentration of transnational and transracial adoptees per head. However, in spite of this demographic fact, Sweden and Scandinavia is not an epicenter for Critical Adoption Studies. In this text, Tobias Hübinette offers a Swedish and Scandinavian as well as a personal perspective on the emergence of Critical Adoption Studies.
