The purpose of this essay is to investigate how the attitude towards immigrants during theend of the 20th century in Sweden is described in the state's public investigations. This isdone by examining three different investigations, all of which are final or main reports duringthe 70s, 80s and 90s. The investigations are analyzed through a critical discourse analysisbased on a postcolonial theory. The study illustrates that immigrants in all threeinvestigations, from the different decades, should be integrated rather than assimilated, but onthe Swedes' premises. The study also shows that the attitude towards immigrants isconsistently positive, but that adaptation towards Swedish society is accelerated for everydecade.
