Ur det andra perspektivet : En interpretativ fenomenologisk analys om hur unga män upplever att det är att leva i Sverige med utomeuropeisk bakgrund 

Sammanfattning: The aim of this thesis was to better understand how young men with non-European ethnicity experience life in Sweden, and which expectations they think society has on people with their group affiliation. A qualitative method with an inductive approach was applied where five men with non-European ethnicity, between the ages of 19–25, were interviewed with semi-structured interviews. The interviews were analyzed using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA). The feeling of “betweenship” was common and many participants had struggled with the shaping of their ethnic identity. The language worked as an in- and out-group marker, where traditional Swedish language and suburban language were used for social categorization. Integration is highlighted as an ideal where people with non-European background are expected to adopt the majority norms. Prejudice and stereotypes against people with non-European background is associated with violence and criminality, which lead to the use of active and passive coping strategies in the form of avoidant and open conversation.
