This thesis uses Frantz Fanon’s concept of the zone of non-being to analyse how the subject position of transracial adoptees in Sweden is shaped within the colonial structures of racial capitalism and whiteness. The study examines how ontological negation, discursive silencing, and conditional inclusion function as mechanisms through which adoptee subjectivity is constrained and made legible. Rather than interpreting autobiographical narratives as expressions of individual psychology, five publicly available testimonies—presented as podcasts, interviews, poetry, and monologues—are read as discursive sites where structural violence becomes visible.Following a theory-driven, abductive method grounded in discourse theory and Black thought, the analysis moves through two analytical lenses: Body and Affect. These lenses trace how subjectivity is regulated through embodied and emotional registers under conditions of racialised governance. The analysis identifies three central structural mechanisms: silence, as both theme and ontological constraint; adaptation, as a demand to conform to dominant norms; and a third, unnamed pattern—an affective and narrative movement that resists categorisation and exceeds available frameworks.
