El “nuevo racismo” desde la lente de la “migración silenciosa”: la adopción interracial en España
Abstract
The increase in international adoptions of minors ( quiet migration ) all over Spain has coincided in time with the rise of immigration . The links between these two phenomena give rise to a hybrid line of research focused on the racial experiences shared by both the adopted population and the immigrant population. A comparative analysis of data coming from three public opinion research sources reveals: (a) the presence of “racism without race” within Spanish society, even though phenotypic differences play a determining role in the social construction of race; and (b) a low “racial awareness” amongst interracial adoptive parents, which leads them to reproduce the ideology of “color-blind racism.”
