This interview study was conceived from the idea about how students who are second generations immigrants, have experience with the Swedish history lessons and how it relates to their identity building. Six different students were selected for the interview, and they all shared backgrounds but had different ethnicity. The study showed that several of the students felt that there was a disconnection with the Swedish history lessons and with their identity. The most common complaint was that the student felt that they could not voice their opinion or that the Swedish history lesson was too Eurocentric in their education plan. Some students also felt that they could not discuss certain topics, because of fear from the teacher. The study did however show that some of the students was more lenient and accepting of the Swedish history study and felt that their teacher knew what they were talking about, and that some certain topic was highlighted and that they could relate to their identity.
