Lechner London : Routledge, 2008 xvi, 350 p. : : illus. ; 20 cm Indeks : p. 343 - 350 p. 307 - 341 This book presents a vivid sociological portrait of present-day Dutch society. As the Dutch grapple with immigration, reform of the welfare state, new commercial media, and European unification, they are also redefining their national identity. Focusing on the Dutch experience of re-imagining the nation in response to global pressures, this book shows how we can understand global processes by considering the question of national identity from multiple angles in specific historical settings. It offers an engaging portrait of Dutch society, a counterpoint to foreign views of recent events there, and a concrete case study of globalization as it unfolds in one place.
