A qualitative study on second generation immigrants’ living conditions and belonging (English)
Abstract [sv]

Syftet med studien har varit att undersöka hur andra generationens invandrare upplever sin tillhörighet samt hur deras livsvillkor påverkas av att bo i ett stigmatiserat område. Studien har genomförts med en kvalitativ metodansats där fem semistrukturerade intervjuer har utförts. Det insamlade materialet har analyserats med hjälp av teoretiska utgångspunkter som Vanessa Mays teori om tillhörighet, Erving Goffman och Loic Waquants stigmateorier och Thomas Scheffs teori om sociala band. Resultatet visar att informanterna känner sig stigmatiserade dels för att de har utländsk bakgrund och dels för att det finns en territoriell stigmatisering genom deras bostadsområde. Informanternas föräldrar har inte alltid lyckats bli integrerade i Sverige, vilket även påverkar informanterna. Föräldrarna behöver ha en tillhörighet som då främst har blivit hemlandets kultur, som informanterna i olika grad tar efter. De flesta känner därför tillhörighet till sina föräldrars kultur och hemland, vilket också påverkar att informanterna föredrar umgänge med personer som har en liknande bakgrund.

Abstract [en]

This research addresses the understanding of how second generation immigrants perceive their sense of belonging and how their living conditions are affected by living in a stigmatized area. The study has been done with a qualitative method, where five semi-structured interviews have been conducted. The collected material has been analyzed with the help of Vanessa May’s theory of belonging, Erving Goffman and Loic Waquant’s stigma theories and Thomas Scheff’s theory of social ties. This research presents that the informants in some ways feel discriminated and stigmatized, partly because of their foreign background and partly because there is a territorial stigma through their residential area. The parents of the informants have not always managed to become integrated in Sweden, which affects the young people. As a result of this, the parents retain more of the culture of their home country, which the informants then have inherited. The majority of the informants feel that they belong to their parents culture an homeland, they then prefers to interact with people with similar background.
