The aim of this study is to critically analyse the representation of non-ethic Swedes, gender roles and a class ridden society in Children´s literature published in Sweden. The structural discrimination is found within many areas in our society. I have analysed if this discrimination also is to be found in children´s literature. Is there a division between ”us” and “them” in children´s literature? I have analysed books for children from 1980s and 2000s to see if there are any differences between these periods of time. I found that there were differences only in the fields of gender roles. Girls have been given a greater power in the books from 2000s. Other ethnicity´s are hardly found in the books despite the periods of time. White people are still given most space. The meaning of the class ridden society is not to be found in none of the books.
