The purpose of the following essay is to study students with non-European backgrounds view of the multicultural perspective in history teaching at the upper secondary school in Sweden. To study this, student interviews have been made and the study has also answered how the students perceive the concept of multiculturalism and how they consider their teachers to take into account the students' ethnic backgrounds in the history teaching. The study results show that multiculturalism is a concept that can be defined in different ways, and that students believe that the history teaching has a European and Western perspective. Students want teachers to take more account of different ethnicities in teaching, and that history teaching not should be so generalizing as it is.
