The Untold Truth Behind Korean Adoption | The "Unwanted" War Orphans

Yuri Doolan is a historian and fellow mixed-Korean whose work explores the lasting legacies and human consequences of US militarism in Asia and the Pacific.

This video focuses on his upcoming book, "The First Amerasians: Mixed Race Koreans from Camptowns to America."

It's the story of how the US created and used the concept of the "Amerasian" to remove thousands of mixed race children from their Korean mothers in US-occupied South Korea to adoptive American homes during the 1950s and 1960s.
