Hur beskrivs nazisternas folkmord på romer i svenska historieläroböcker på gymnasial undervisning mellan 1967-2011? : en antiziganistisk diskursanalys om bristen på romernas utrymme

Sammanfattning: During the second world war between one-half to two million Roma people were killed. The Roma and Sinti ethnic groups had to wait until 1982 before West Germany would recognize them as victims of the Nazi policy of extermination during the war. This has resulted in that the suffering of the Roma does not form a part of the common knowledge today. This essay conveys a discourse analysis, with the purpose to investigate how the status of the victim has affected Swedish textbooks in the teaching of history regarding the involvement of the Roma in the war. I will utilize a model to identify which use of history that the textbooks employ read through an antiziganistic theoretical perspective based on the omitting of Roma suffering. I will also investigate explanations as to why Romanis have had to struggle for their rightful victim status in relation to the Jews.
