This study has aimed to display the kind of information and the values regarding the Swedish national minority languages that can be found in four textbooks for the course Swedish 2 in the Swedish upper secondary school. Two analyses have been made: one which determines the representation type of each paragraph and one which evaluates the words and expressions of the textbooks. The results have been compared with the Swedish curriculum as well as to the European charter for regional or minority languages and the Framework convention for the protection of national minorities. The conclusion is that none of the textbooks fully correspond to what is requested in the two European documents, nor what is demanded in the Swedish curriculum, although one of the textbooks gets fairly close. However, all the books in this study do fulfill the demands for the course Swedish 2. Therefore, it is argued that the enunciation for this course is not satisfactory to ensure an equivalent countrywide education.
