This thesis examines re-education as a strategy for integration in the context of four Nigerian and
Ghanaian women in Stockholm within the theoretical framework of globalization, narrative voices
and strategic adaptation. This thesis gives an account of brief educational histories for Nigeria and
Ghana including their created communities in Stockholm. Through the use of a participatory
research method in which the participants are part of the research, they present their integration
strategies with education as their resource capital. In the context of this thesis, the participants are in
a self- acting position in which they highlight the integration challenges they meet and through selfefforts
find solutions to these challenges.
