dc.description	Mother-tongue Swedes and the rest of us. Young people’s languagesand identifications in the light of neo-nationalism. In Sweden multilingualism is regarded as a highly valued asset. This endorsement of multilingualism is often overshadowed by promotion of the Swedish language, though. Using an ethnographic study of ethnically mixed schools in Sweden, the present article discusses this tendency and argues that it can be understood in the lightof neo-nationalism and culturalism. With this discussion as a background and a study with former pupils as a starting point, the implications of such culturalism for young descendants of migrants in Sweden today is examined. The article shows how young descendants are placed in different, polarised culturalist positions and how their perspectives on language and self vary in accordance withthese. It demonstrates how such positioning creates shared conditions across ethnic and gender boundaries and illustrates how these conditions contribute to shaping shared attitudes towards language as well as shared identifications among young people of different backgrounds and genders.
