Abstract
The purpose of this essay was to examine how immigrants of the first generation experience the integration in to the swedish society from the six factors: identity, culture, language, codes, individualism/holism and network. Our questions were: What does integration mean to the immigrant? Does the immigrant feel integrated and what is it that contributes to the fact that she feels or not feels integrated? How does the immigrant experience the possibilities to influence the integration? The study was based on interviews with six immigrated women. In the essay we have analysed and compared the interviews to relevant literature. Our conclusions are that integration isn't always something exact and measurable that can be defined from outside,...

The purpose of this essay was to examine how immigrants of the first generation experience the integration in to the swedish society from the six factors: identity, culture, language, codes, individualism/holism and network. Our questions were: What does integration mean to the immigrant? Does the immigrant feel integrated and what is it that contributes to the fact that she feels or not feels integrated? How does the immigrant experience the possibilities to influence the integration? The study was based on interviews with six immigrated women. In the essay we have analysed and compared the interviews to relevant literature. Our conclusions are that integration isn't always something exact and measurable that can be defined from outside, integration is also to a great extent a subjective experience of the person. Further we found that the person can experience being integrated to different extant within different areas.

Denna uppsats syfte var att undersöka hur förstagenerationsinvandrare upplever integrationen i det svenska samhället utifrån de sex faktorerna: identitet, kultur, språk, koder, individualism/holism samt nätverk. Våra frågeställningar var: Vad innebär integration för invandraren? Känner sig invandraren integrerad och vad är det som gör att hon känner sig integrerad alternativt inte integrerad? Hur upplever invandraren möjligheterna att själv påverka sin integration? Studien baserades på semistrukturerade, kvalitativa, djupintervjuer med sex invandrarkvinnor. I uppsatsen har vi analyserat och jämfört materialet från intervjuerna med relevant litteratur. Våra slutsatser är att integration inte alltid är något exakt och mätbart som kan definieras utifrån utan även till stor del handlar om individens subjektiva upplevelse. Vidare har vi kommit fram till att individen kan uppleva sig integrerad i olika grad inom olika områden. (Less)
