Abstract

Objectives: 2020 was marked by two racial pandemics-COVID-19-related attacks against Asians and the police brutality against Blacks that spurred the resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement-calling attention to racial privilege and oppression in American society. The present study explores female Chinese transracial adoptees' unique lived experiences during this racially salient moment.

Method: A phenomenological approach captured how 20 female Chinese transracial adoptees navigated and made sense of the dual racial pandemics and the subsequent impact on their racial awareness, identity development, and advocacy. Data were collected using semistructured individual Zoom interviews and coded using phenomenological analysis.

Results: Findings suggest the dual pandemics acted as catalysts for female Chinese transracial adoptees' racial consciousness and reevaluation of their positionality within the racial hierarchy. Three core themes emerged: female transracial adoptees' new self-understanding as racial beings; their perspective on their place within the White-Black dichotomy; and their role in promoting racial justice.

Conclusions: Our findings contribute to the literature by highlighting the complexities of female Chinese transracial adoptees' racialized selves as children of color who have been raised in White families; their motivations to foster racial justice; and their ability to facilitate race talk.

中国跨种族女性被收养者在双重种族流行病中的种族觉醒。

目标：2020年发生了两起种族大流行病——与新冠肺炎相关的针对亚裔的袭击和警察对黑人的暴行，这两起事件促使“黑人的命也是命”运动死灰复燃，引起了人们对美国社会种族特权和压迫的关注。本研究探讨了中国跨种族女性被收养者在这一种族突出时刻的独特生活经历。方法：一种现象学方法捕捉了20名中国跨种族女性被收养者如何应对和理解双重种族流行病，以及随后对她们的种族意识、身份发展和倡导的影响。使用半结构化的个人Zoom访谈收集数据，并使用现象学分析进行编码。结果：研究结果表明，双重流行病是中国跨种族女性被收养者种族意识和重新评估其在种族等级中地位的催化剂。出现了三个核心主题：女性跨种族被收养者作为种族存在的新自我理解；他们对自己在白人-黑人二分法中的地位的看法；以及他们在促进种族正义方面的作用。结论：我们的研究结果突出了中国跨种族女性被收养者作为在白人家庭长大的有色人种儿童的种族化自我的复杂性，为文献做出了贡献；他们促进种族正义的动机；以及他们促进种族对话的能力。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2023 APA，保留所有权利）。
