Hemmasittare is a new term for children and youths with a history of long term truancy. As the term indicates these youths spend most of their time in their homes. This often results in them being socially alienated and the loss of their earlier social network.

Denna uppsats handlar om hur äldre bosniska kvinnor uppfattar sin situation som äldre här i Sverige. Mitt mål har varit att se bortom de stereotypa uppfattningarna om invandrare som kulturellt avvikande grupp. Genom att göra en kvalitativ studie och lyssna på deras egna berättelser fick jag en djupare förståelse för deras livsvärld. Jag har redogjort för hur deras situation ser ut i praktiken, vilka behov de har, hur de ser på sin framtid och sin omgivning i det nya landet. Resultatet tyder på en ambivalens mellan ångesten att belasta sina barn och skräcken för isolering och passivisering på ett ålderdomshem på grund av otillräcklig språkkunskap..
