About this book
Reviews
“This is a remarkable book. With a multitude of sources, Shield welds together the history of late twentieth-century immigration to Denmark and the Netherlands and presents it from the immigrants’ viewpoint. An astute scholarly work, which effectively refutes some of the most common xenophobic and populist claims of our time, the book has relevance for how we understand cross-cultural experiences everywhere.” (Jens Rydström, Lund University, Sweden)
“This book explores how western European societies accommodated diversity according to gender, class, ethnicity and sexuality. It convincingly shows how collective amnesia dominates current debates. We tend to forget how solidarity and social cohesion were constructed in past decades. This is a must-read for journalists, policy makers and academics.” (Marlou Schrover, Leiden University, The Netherlands)
