Identity unknown is a qualitative study of eight second generation immigrants, at the age of 18-32, who were born in Sweden and whose parents have immigrated as labour. The result of the study showed that it was difficult to say who they are and where they really belong. The language was an important part of the identity. They thought that the language was a link of contact to family and relatives. To sum up, the study showed that the second generation immigrants, that we interviewed, experienced themselves as "foreigners" in Sweden and as Swedes in foreign countries. Keywords: Second generation immigrants, identity, language and society. (Less)
