British-Chinese adoptees and the transracial experience: whiteness, ‘Chineseness’ and the fluidity of privilege
Focus groups and follow-up interviews with 45 British-Chinese adoptees examine race, belonging and adoption in predominantly white families. Using a constructivist approach and an adoptee researcher’s autoethnographic standpoint, the thesis interprets experiences through postcolonial and critical race theory.
Limitations: Selected qualitative sample; the abstract does not provide age or regional breakdowns or detailed findings. Full text is embargoed, so only the abstract was reviewed.
