- The importance of historical and cultural analysis is highlighted in relation to the Assyrian minority in Sweden. The concept of immigrant as an identity label within the Swedish society is problematized and questioned. The specific historical experience among the Assyrians adds to the understanding of culture and acculturation in a postmodern Swedish society. Examples of historical and cultural changes among the Assyrians, that is the extraordinary change from a preindustrial, through an industrial, to a postindustrial life are highlighted with specific attention to generational and gender differences, and with a particular focus on youth. The results show that generational differences are a stronger explanatory factor of acculturation experience than gender is. While religious affiliation and practices show a decline along generation, Assyrian affiliation is strong among all generations, at the same time as Swedish affiliation is increasing.

Meaning-Making Variations in Acculturation and Ritualization : A multi-generational study of Suroyo migrants in Sweden
- 2005
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This dissertation focuses on how acculturation affects meaning-making among three generations of Suroye in the city of Södertälje, Sweden. Special focus is on youth. An inter-disciplinary and a mixed-model approach is used, with the purpose to contribute to research knowledge on meta, theoretical, methodological, and empirical levels. There are two different patterns of meaning-making along generation and gender, one with a stronger emphasis on rituals and symbols of religion and kinship, and the other with a stronger emphasis on issues of identification. Religious practices decrease among the adults and youth, while kinship affiliation is very strong among all three generations. Swedish affiliation, though from a low level, increases among the adults and youth. Religious rituals and symbols play a central role in Suroyo culture with a meaning-making function. However, in early youth the participation in religious rituals decreases, mainly due to other interests and to the political schism among the Suroye. Instead they search for an individual form of religiosity. The issue of identification is among the youth a disputed process, linked to issues of power, through domination, injustice, and discrimination. They use several designations to identify themselves; i.e., Aramean, Assyrian, Suroyo, Syrian, and Swedish, either separately or combined. Within the process of acculturation, the youth strategically use different identification patterns with the purpose to differentiate themselves from others and to negotiate their identity.

Utvärdering av Örebro preventionsprogram : Fas 1: ett assyriskt/syrianskt kulturellt perspektiv i Södertälje
- 2008
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This report deals with the implementation of Örebro prevention program among the Assyrians in Södertälje. The program focuses on the use and abuse of alcohol and targets the interventions of parents. The purpose of the first part of the evaluation of this program has been to gain a general understanding of how the program has functioned within a minority context and based on this information to contribute with possible changes in the program for implementation among other minority populations. For this study a qualitative method with focus group interviews has been used. Data from four different groups has been collected: key persons, parents, youth, and pupils. The main conclusions that can be drawn from this study is that Örebro prevention program is useful within cultural minority groups, presupposing that the proposed changes within the program are implemented. The changes being recommended are: change/increase of content and implementation of practical applications.
