Lorelie Tummers
In the past six decades approximately 40.000 children entered the Netherlands as transnational adoptees. In most cases, these are children of colour who are adopted into white families. This project investigates the experiences of adoptees of colour in the Netherlands, asking: how does this group experience race and racism in a supposedly colourblind society?
