1. Introduction: Exploring Swedish Adoption Desire -- 2. Race, Colonialism, Eugenics, and International Adoption in Sweden -- 3. From Flat-Packed Furniture to Fascism: Transracial Adoptees in Myths of Swedish Goodness -- 4. Eating the [M]Other: Consumption Fantasies in Swedish Adoption Narratives -- 5.

Conclusion.

This book is a critical study of international adoption in Sweden, based on analysis of adoption-related texts, images and videos. The author argues that representations of adoption, and specifically of the bodies of international, transracial adoptees, are used to create and sustain myths of Swedish exceptionalism, concealing the nation's colonial, racist and eugenic histories. The book challenges the virtuous perception of international adoption, and exposes and critiques the underlying racism and violence of both the adoption industry and the shaping of Sweden as a 'good' nation. It will appeal to students and scholars of adoption and migration, as well as those engaged in anti-racism research. Richey Wyver, PhD, is a Learning Designer and Lecturer in Sociology at the University of Auckland, New Zealand. Having lived in Sweden for several years, he graduated with an MA in International Migration and Ethnic Relations from Malmö University, before pursuing a PhD in Sociology in Auckland. His doctoral research forms the basis of this book. Dr Wyver's research interests also cover racism and anti-racism, and environmental sociology and sustainability.
