Literature can today be used as a tool to promote fellowship within the society, to build bridges and create an understanding of other ethnicities and cultures. Therefore, as teachers it can be beneficial to analyze stories and break down the content and then create new content with the students without any preconceptions regarding "the Other". This study is based on the method qualitative content analysis, with focus on close reading. The theoretical framework for this study is based on the post-colonial theory and the perspective of power. Which will be used to examine two Swedish children's books and how the characters are presented. In this study, I argue that norm-deviating conceptions tend to be more visible when it comes to people with a non-Swedish background.
