Sommario/riassunto

In this book Ulbe Bosma explores the experience of immigrants in the Netherlands over sixty years and three generations. Looking at migrants from all countries, Bosma teases out how their ethnic identities are informed by Dutch culture, and how these immigrant identities evolve over time. Fascinating, comprehensive, and historically



grounded, this essential volume reveals how the colonial past continues to shape multicultural Dutch society ... It is an important counterpart to work on France, Britain, and Portugal. Andrea Smith, Lafayette College
