Résumé
Aux États-Unis, l’adoption met l’accent sur l’identité « ethno-raciale » des parents et des enfants. En 1978, le Congrès vota l’Indian Child Welfare Act qui visait à lutter contre l’adoption d’enfants amérindiens par la population « blanche ». Ce débat concernant I’Indian Child Welfare Act et l’adoption allochtone d’enfants autochtones participe discrètement, mais activement, à la construction légale et politique de l’identité et met en exergue la complexité et les paradoxes du discours antiraciste américain.
Abstract
In the U.S., the emphasis is put on the “ethno-racial” identity of adoptive parents and adopted children. In 1978, Congress passed the Indian Child Welfare Act aimed at restricting the adoption of “Native American” children by the “white” population. This debate about the Indian Child Welfare Act and “transcategory” adoption contributes discretely, but actively, to the legal and political construction of minority identity and highlights the complexity and paradoxes of the American antiracist discourse.
